Key Points Made by JJ about Miracle Mindset:

The number one thing preventing people from achieving their goals is that they don’t feel worthy – in other words they don’t have the mindset they need to be successful.
We tend to look at the bad things in our life in a negative way. The bad things are the training that shaped us into who we are today and help us become better and deal with stress more effectively.
If you’re feeling fear, it’s because you’re taking on a worthy challenge. The struggle brings out the strength.
Everything in life worth having is worth fighting for and is necessary hard work.
The people who succeed are those who go through tough times and made it past them.
You can’t course correct standing still. You have to take action if you want to improve things.
It’s important to ask the ‘right’ questions if you want good answers.
Your limitations will become your life. You can approach life either believing you will fail or that you will succeed – the latter will give you much better results. You determine your limiting beliefs.
The ‘how’ will show up if you focus on the ‘why’.
Be present and celebrate the small victories, pay attention to the small details.
Commit to an action. Don’t ‘try’. Be courageous instead of fearless.
Having a support community is important. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Forgiveness is an active process. If you’re not happy despite good things happening in your life, you probably have some forgiving to do.
Mindset is a skill that can be developed.
Start with the areas of your life that you’re not satisfied with and begin building that area up.
You can create the life and impact that you want; you have to decide first to do it.
