Mind tattoos… what they mean to winning?!

 
 

All of us keep seeing body tattoos on the youth icons of the day, and also many youngsters seeking to convey a message or even trivia….  Body tattoos are in vogue and indeed a fashion statement all over the globe… But what we tattoo on any part of the body for others to see is not as important as what we tattoo in our minds….  And positive, successful, energetic mind tattoos are a must to attain success… 

The story goes, as I read somewhere,  that Dr Norman Vincent Peale was walking by a tattoo shop when a confused looking young man came out of the shop with a tattoo in his right arm that read “Born to Lose”. Dr Peale asked the tattoo artist about it and the tattoo artist replied…. “ I did ask the young man if he was sure that he wanted to state “Born to lose” in his arm and the young man was pretty stubborn in that. A surprised Dr Peale asked the tattoo artist – “Is’nt that surprising?” For which the artiste replied “Not really! Much before he tattooed it on his arm, he has firmly tattooed it in his brain, and his body tattoo act is just a reflection of his mind tattoo”. 

That brings us to our topic, the power of mind tattoos’. Every single act of us, big or small, positive or negative, winning or losing, good acts and deeds or otherwise are a sheer reflection of the cluster of small and big thought tattoos we keep etching in our mind, be it consciously or unconsciously,  And this mind tattooing process is the most powerful in determining what the outcome is in reality. 

So, it should be our conscious and subconscious endeavor to keep tattooing our mind with thoughts that are ONLY about winning, what we want be, want to reach, want to achieve, that perfect day as desired,  and about that ideal job/career and all that wealth that we would want to accrue in our lives….. ALL THAT IS SOUGHT BY US FOR A GREAT LIFE. 

Call this positive mind tattooing…. And our effort here MUST BE to continuously and consciously strive to tattoo our mind, ONLY all that is desired in reality…. And what else do all of us desire than the very best in all walks of life…  Let us tattoo these desires in mind in as much positive detail as we can….   With the smell of victory, with love and affection for the near and dear ones, for winning at the work place, and for recreating the hearts’ desires to the mind… and creating an ideal life in our own terms….. 

While doing this positive mind tattooing, it is quite but natural that in the mood swings we have, there will be situations when negatives get tattooed in the mind too…  The easiest way to persist on our terms of life is to quickly erase this negative mind tattoo with a more and say bigger positive mind tattoo. And when we perceive the negative tattoo is close to affecting our success/life agenda, we have to be ruthless and aggressive is working on creating positive mind tattoos, only resting when we are thoroughly convinced that the positive tattoo has erased and prevailed over the negative. 

All of us are born to ONLY win, and none of us are here to lose in Life.  If anyone of us is losing it is because we are etching our mind with unnatural negative tattoos, rather than etching it with positive tattoos, which are natural, easy and a part of the flow of life….. 

Now on, be a consistent positive mind tattoo artist… not only for you but do that bit of positive mind tattooing on all those around us…  Inside each one of all us, there is a spectacular positive mind tattoo artist…..

    Good One…

    These “mind tattoos” are subtle impressions and when put together they are called a “Character” of the person.

    The person’s behavior is based on this subtle “character” accumulated over a long period of time.

    When the basic structure of these tattoos are natural and original a person will surely WIN.

    What a load of old self-help hooey. “Mind tattoos”, really?!!! Total nonsense, and utterly destructive thinking. This self-help culture of introspection and analysis is completely falacious thinking. The tattoo artist in the story has clearly had his head filled with the mumbo-jumbo mindset too – did it ever occur to him that teens, in writing things like ‘Born To Lose’ on their schoolbooks (for it is only the young who do such things), are JUST as involved in introspection as the writer of this gibberish is? That teen rebellion is THE POINT? And that it’s NORMAL?! It’s as if no-one in this story has ever been young themselves.

    Mind tattoos? Brain farts, more like it.

    Nice article. I agree with Prasad, thoughts form habits, habits form character, character forms person. Thoughts, words & action.

    Its true that the tattoos of our mind act subtly in governing our actions and shaping our future.

    Worthy article. our actions and reactions can be atributed to computer and the programming language. If the programme is without error the out put will be error free.Tattoing positive qualities is one such programming in our mind, will produce good out puts. Most of our mistakes happen due to this errored programming of our mindest and attitude.
