Sometimes, it feels like the entire world is against you as a blogger.

Do you feel like a blogging underdog right now?

Does nothing seem to be working for you? Does nothing seem to be happening for you?

Do you see yourself as a blogging underdog?

Do you feel like a blogging underdog?

Now is the time to sharpen your mindset.

Begin to think, feel and act like a successful blogger by putting less faith in appearances and more faith in yourself.

I know what you may be going through guys. Appearances suggested that I was a laid off security guard some 15 years ago. I knew nothing about blogging. Heck; I did not know what a blog was. I did not know SEO from a CEO. But I patiently honed my mind to believe less in appearances surrounding me and more in myself and my unlimited mental potential.

Mental Potential

Did you know that your mind is virtually limitless in terms of its power, scale and scope?

The world makes the critical error of thinking only through the ego. The ego voice claims that you are a single body with a single mind resting in the body’s head.

Do not buy this bullshit psyche job.

You, me and every life form are one single mind. All life forms are connected as one.

This is why you can think about a loved one who calls you 10 seconds after the thought. You, the loved one and everyone are mind joined as one single, all powerful mind.

Terms for the one mind vary.

Some call it the:

intuition
gut
Holy Spirit
internal guide

Others find familiarity in seeing the one mind as Jesus, or the Buddha or their enlightened being of choice.

Note; Jesus, Buddha and all enlightened minds fully realized that no separation exists. Each ascended master clearly understood how God created one of us (Buddha appeared to learn this in a later lifetime according to the ascended masters).

Do you genuinely believe that an incredibly powerful mind connected to one can be an underdog? Do you believe that this level of mind can forgive or look past appearances?

You betcha it can!

But accessing the one-mind and ceasing to see yourself as little requires mind training.

Mind Training

A Course in Miracles is one mind training guide.

Meditating helps to train the mind too.

The method to train the mind is not as important as the willingness to look within to face yours fears. Facing fears sitting in the mind reveals the appearances you:

judge as true
cling to as reality
refuse to let go

which keep you in the struggling, miserable role of perpetual underdog.

Point blank; mind training is the only way I gradually stopped seeing myself as a relatively powerless individual tossed to and fro on the sea of circumstance. Slowly but surely, I saw myself in a more powerful light. Framing myself in a more powerful light let me see past circumstances versus judging myself based on circumstances and identifying personally with these appearances.

Do Not Identify with Circumstances

Billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban once said how he never identified with financial struggles experienced as a budding entrepreneur.

Even though his circumstances appeared to be selling products door to door he did not see himself as a door to door salesman struggling to make money. He simply focused on his dreams with a strong mind to forgive, overlook and see past circumstances.

Train your mind to look beyond temporary circumstances that appear to make you the underdog. Learn how to see your blogging dreams clearly. Develop the skill of listening to your intuition to keep following proven, success-building blogging steps even if the world appears to crumble around you.

Blogging seems challenging in moments when life intervenes. Tread through these specific moments mindfully to face your fears. The difficult circumstances are not you! Do not identify with the challenges. See beyond the resistance toward following the blogging basics diligently.

What About Solely Working Hard?

Beware of only trying to outwork circumstances.

No mind out runs its shadows.

No mind outworks its ghosts.

As long as you deeply trust your circumstances these situations will appear to crush you.

This is the same shit different day scenario we all have suffered from.

Working hard to overcome resistance instead of mentally looking past it to develop your skills results in a few major mistakes most of the 7 billion humans on planet earth make daily like:

self-sabotaging on a routine basis just like clockwork
blaming circumstances for your failure to perpetuate a victim mentality
general burnout

Imagine punching a speed bag as forcefully as possible then leaning close enough to be smacked by the bag square in your kisser.

Who hurt you? You or the speed bag?

This is why you need mind training, first, to stop focusing exclusively on appearances and to cease trying to outwork circumstances in order to calmly put in the work to completely look and move past the obstacles.

Doing mental gymnastics feels uncomfortable in moments but freedom tastes sweet and the alternative absolutely sucks.

Note how most humans live completely in survival mode. These minds fully overestimate appearances and dismiss their own seemingly unlimited mind power.

Focus your mind on your blogging dreams. When obstacles arise, mentally be with fears fueling obstacles and practice the art of listening to the intuition to guide you through difficult to forgive appearances.

How Is this Approach Practical?

Facing fear in your mind as you look beyond appearances moves you beyond underdog mode into practical steps mode leading to solutions.

For example, imagine facing the appearance of extreme financial difficulties. In your mind, feeling the fear of living in abject poverty guides you intuitively to look past the appearance of money lost to the most practical solution.

Spirit may guide you to:

get a part time job
get a loan
take out a credit card
ask a loved one for money

as practical solutions to your money problems.

Or, your intuition may guide you to do something else.

The ego voice may hate following each or all practical tips but….fuck ’em! That jerk-voice is the reason you suffer through financial problems in the first place! Do you really want to continue to trust the voice of poverty madness, chaos, loss and death?

I didn’t think so.

Practical Blogging Advice

As a blogger, training the mind to face fear and see beyond appearances:

sends practical blogging ideas to your mind
leads to intuitive guidance like beginning to guest blog, comment genuinely on blogs or perhaps to begin SEO-optimizing blog content to target quality traffic and build strong relationships
detaches you largely from outcomes to develop trust in yourself and in the blogging process

I left these practical blogging tips for last guys.

Here’s why: almost all struggling bloggers believe that following a practical tip with their failure conscious mind is the way to succeed. Every one of these struggling bloggers struggles forever until facing their fears and seeing beyond appearances because each self-sabotages by giving up quickly, ignoring sound blogging advice or blaming appearances for failure.

Mark Cuban would still be a door to door salesman struggling financially if he judged himself according to his temporary circumstances. He looked past appearances to mentally and physically put in the work to become a business icon.

Conclusion

You can do it guys.

You can and will succeed as a blogger.

But you need to do the mind training to develop the proper blogging skills amidst the appearances of struggle, failure and other temporary circumstances.

Get after it mentally, first. Face fears in your mind that trust the appearances and crappy expectations of the world.

From there, the work gets easier and easier because you will do what you love for the joy of it and for being truly helpful instead of working stressed to outrun fear-filled appearances.

I believe in you.
