The Way Dhoni Thinks.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni captain cool. No need for any introduction, everyone knows him. He is the most successful Indian captain, great wicket-keeper and the best finisher. He is famous for his captaincy, extraordinary wicket-keeping and batting skills. Everyone wants to be successful like him. But what makes him this much successful? What is the mantra of his success? How and what he think? Is it possible to apply his way of thinking in other fields also?

I interpreted Mahi`s way of thinking from his interviews, biopic and Sfurti Sahare`s book ‘Think and win like Dhoni’. They are simple and easy to understand and I hope it will help you in achieving desired goal.

So let’s see The Way Dhoni Thinks.

“Success is all about conditioning your mind.” – M.S. Dhoni

This is the first mantra of Dhoni`s success. Mental preparation is the first step towards the success. Celestine Chua said, “Success is 99% attitude and 1% aptitude.” Right Attitude is the key. Prepare your mind, keep positive attitude, remove negative thoughts, don’t overthink about anything and stay calm. It`s not what happened to you, it’s how you react to it. Always react in positive way.

“If you practice a shot 100 times, only then you will be confident about. That confidence will give you positive attitude. Confidence without hard work is fake confidence. Failure is sure to happen. Go full throttle. I completely believe in it” – M.S. Dhoni

Hard work is necessary, without it you cannot achieve your desired goal.  Practice makes you confident, confidence makes you positive and positive attitude makes you successful. These are the wheels of the success Hard work, Confidence and Positive Attitude. Absence of any of it will lead you to failure.

Mental Preparation + Physical Preparation = The Complete Process.

“I like to make things simpler for my mind. I like to create simple plans. Once the plans are simple and achievable for the mind, they are easy to execute.” – M.S. Dhoni

 To achieve something we have to plan and set different goals. So next mantra is about Goals. It is interesting the way Dhoni achieve the goals. He set small goals, he keep them simple as easy to achieve and visualized it as he achieved that goal. So the mantra is Set a small goals, simplify your goals, visualize as you achieved it and grab the opportunities.

If opportunity doesn’t knock, create one!

“I believe in the process more than the results. If you are properly prepared, physically and mentally committed to task and fully engaged in moment, then I have no problem with the outcome.” – M.S. Dhoni

We often heard him saying, ‘Follow the Process.’ The process includes Positive thoughts, Preparation, Calmness, and Clarity. If you want to lose some weight then exercise is the process. If you want to be calmer then meditation is the process. If you want to crack interview then preparation is the process. If you want to make business decision then strategies is the process. So don’t worry about results, always give 100%, eliminate negative emotions and fear, keep things simple, Don’t obsessing and overthinking.

“Staying in the moment is my mantra of success. I just go from one moment to another, that’s the only thing in my head” – M.S. Dhoni

According to Dhoni Staying in the moment is the important mantra of the success. No matter what you are doing, missing out on the ‘now’ moment grossly affects your productivity. So Keep calm and control your emotions. Don’t think about past or future, focus only on present.

Dhoni is a Leader. He is trustworthy, he stands by his teammates, he leads from front, he can handle criticism well, he is a great communicator, he is great motivator, and he is honest and fearless. So think the way Dhoni thinks and be a successful.
