HEALTHY MINDSET
What is a healthy mindset?
It seems that personal growth is the pathway to a healthy mindset, and the $50+ billion [not a typo] self-help industry uses this point of view to peddle their stuff. Easy link… makes sense. The truth is the facts tell a completely different story.
How is it that this massive consumption of self-help books, recordings, weekends, courses, retreats, and life coaches has zero quantifiable results to share? Not a single author, company, download, or group shares any results.
They are peddlers, leveraging a natural human instinct… the desire to improve. In fourteen years, we’ve identified just one company, Trainings Solutions LLC, that shares results of their students. One!
PAIN AND FRUSTRATION
Everybody knows the pain and frustration of buying self-help stuff, reading and believing we found the pathway to improvement, success if you prefer, only to see that nothing really changes. We regroup, get another book, course or go on another weekend retreat… inspired for a while, yet our life does not change.
Frustrated, we fight through self-worth issues… lick our wounds in silence… then a friend or co-worker tells us about a great book, packed with wisdom. We ante up again, never stopping to see if the recommender’s life changed. And, the cycle repeats itself over and over. Average person has a minimum seven books/programs, yet surveys show, nothing changes.
Why does this happen to millions of people? By-the-way, it happened to me… more than 15 times. Why do we not grow personally? We want a healthy mindset yet these back-to-back-to-back failures to improve yield the opposite. Why?
A SIMPLE TRUTH
For students of metaphysics, the answer is simple. To experience personal growth, you need a healthy mindset. Just the opposite of what is being taught. The pied-pipers-of-prosperity know, believe me, that getting that healthy mindset take hard mental labor. The kind of labor so few are willing to do.
When we have a healthy mindset, personal growth, adventure, excellence and confidence become affluent. The word affluent is a derivative of the French word “afflure”, meaning “to flow to.”
Opportunities to grow personally, to succeed in relationships and business, and to grow in confidence flow to people with a healthy mindset. Focusing on wanting personal growth sends a message to the subconscious that you lack it! And, books about it only enhance that feeling of lack. It is nonsense, but the $50,000,000,000 industry does not want you to know that… or, even worse, they don’t know what you just read… that it is backwards.
Hard to move forward while the directions are backwards, yes? We must first get a healthy mindset to grow personally.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT
You have a negative mindset. It is not your fault. In fact, it is the reason your lineage has survived, generation to generation for centuries. Relax, not going to give you quotes here so you get a positive mental attitude.
A negative mindset is not a healthy mindset. Sociologists opened the pathway to awareness of negativity with a remarkable study. Back to the caveman days, it was broken down to “Carrots and sticks” [not to be confused with all these absurd carrot and stick management books/studies/etc.]…
“Carrots” are food and mates that perpetuate the species of man. “Sticks” will kill us. So me, you and a pal go to the river, we spot a saber-tooth-tiger. Beautiful. Our pal walks over to get a closer look. He doesn’t know it is a “stick.” He gets mauled and eaten. Me and you avoid them and probably that part of the river.
The strongest force in the subconscious mind is self-preservation. Over our caveman lifetime, we see lots of “sticks”… and pass it on… and it keeps getting past on. Sociologists had proven conclusively that … because you and I come from a long line of successful “stick-avoiders,” that our future generations have a genetic predisposition to negativity.
AHA!
A health mindset does not have a negative mindset… it is not your fault, it is genetics. And, as the prevaricators that peddle that “6 simple steps to success” or “how to succeed in home, health, and work with my 8-step plan”… the value in their books does not matter if we let this predisposition to negativity interfere with a healthy mindset. A healthy mindset puts you on the precipice of greatness, that greatness somewhere in the back of your mind, you believe you have. And you do have greatness within you.
Can this be overcome, the genetics? Yes. But it is work and everybody knows in our current world addiction to convivence and instant gratification, hard work does not sell. Of course there is one exception to this. Common sense.
Common sense tells us that reading a book and understanding the material changes nothing. You’ve experienced that already… and if you’re anything like me, probably several times. I had to take ownership of the truths I shared. I had to be willing to own the simple truth that repeating a behavior was going to infallibly yield the same results.
Hardest thing I ever did was take Emmit Foxes 7-day mental diet. Best thing I ever did too.
I discovered that the sociologists we right… while making positive statements and believing I was a positive person, I was not.
The 7-day mental diet is about a 10-minute read. If take it, you will develop a healthy mindset and, organically, grow personally. Grab it free right here, markjbooks.info
And, if you are serious and not kidding around about realizing your full potential, take the mental diet with a friend.

Loved your piece Mark. It truly spoke to where I am at this moment. I know I am down but I’m not out and everything you said I know it’s what makes me realize that where I am at isn’t going to get me where I’m going then I pull myself back up and start again. In truth I wish I didn’t have those moments but I’m learning to laugh at myself.
See you soon and thanks for all you do!
Mark, Davene, and the team are wonderful. With their guidance, I have learn to be more focused, to overcome obstacles gratefully. I have found my profound desires and what I really want to do or accomplish. I started with a fun exercise, the colour code. Based on this personality questionnaire, I discovered my deep values and how to communicate better and obtain better results. I have learn to dream again and to believe in myself and that my dream can come true. In fact, after learning to write, my deepest desire and following their guidance, it all came to realisation. Imagine that this training allows you to set all the tools you need to manifest your life. What would you be willing to do for this or to pay? What I paid for this training is less than my rent per month. I’m so grateful again, thank you.
Always great insight and advice. Like Charlie Brown we can’t say “Good grief” and not put all that tough love into action. Consistently doing anything is the toughest thing. Thanks for the Love.
Hey Mark, I am glad and thankful you are in the planet! Thank you for sharing wisdom.
Just love your frankness: “Are you serious or just kidding around?” That 7-Day Mental Diet is a great tool–thanks from those of us not kidding around!!! And thanks for all the tools you provide!
