Mindset is the foundation for building your faith and vision to achieve your goals with faith and divine guidance.

There was once a man by the name of Nando Parrado, who survived one of the deadliest plane crashes in history. Along with 45 others, Parrado was on a plane heading over the Andes Mountains. However, due to a series of unfortunate events, including a severe snowstorm, the plane crashed and left the passengers stranded in the mountains with no hope of rescue.


Most of the people on board died immediately, and the ones who survived the initial crash eventually succumbed to their injuries or the harsh weather conditions. But not Nando Parrado. He refused to give up and instead, decided to take matters into his own hands.


He realized that the only way out was to hike through the mountains and search for help. But it wasn't going to be easy. The temperature was well below zero, and the altitude made it nearly impossible to breathe. But Nando refused to let these obstacles stop him. He knew that the only way to survive was to have the right mindset.


With this mindset, Nando started his journey. It was not easy, but he kept moving forward, step by step. He had no food or water, but he refused to let his mind get in the way of his success. Instead, he focused on his goal and kept going. He kept reminding himself that he was going to make it out alive.


Days turned into weeks, but Nando's mindset never wavered. He kept pushing himself, even when he felt like giving up. Finally, after 10 days of hiking through the snow and mountains, Nando saw a village in the distance. He had reached his goal!! He had survived one of the most horrific accidents in history. There is nothing he cannot achieve now!


Nando's story is an incredible example of the power of mindset, even though he lost his sister and mother in the plane crash. It's a reminder that we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to. We all face obstacles in our lives, but it's the way we approach them that determines our success. If we have the right mindset, we can overcome anything.


So, the next time you're faced with a challenge, remember Nando Parrado and his incredible journey through the Andes Mountains. Remember that anything is possible with a positive and empowering mindset. If you believe in yourself and keep pushing forward, there's nothing you can't achieve.
