Challenge yourself to have a growth mindset and see what happens! (via @jailhousestrong) The Growth Mindset The growth mindset dictates that no one is born a winner or a loser, but rather a chooser. This means that you can be a winner if you want to be; you don’t have to come into existence a certain way. In other words, it’s not a matter of smart versus dumb, but learner vs. non-learner. This mindset views challenges as tools to help someone grow rather than a bad omen. The growth mindset finds feedback constructive and recognizes that effort is necessary. In short, the growth mindset is a “yet” mindset. For every cause there is an effect, choices are based on free will; you are the master of your fate. Developing a Growth Mindset 1. Embrace Belief Believe in yourself and your capabilities and you will open up your potential to achieve your goals. 2. Embrace Challenges Use challenges as a means to get better. 3. Embrace Hard Work Rather than something to be intimidated by, hard work is a necessary ingredient in pushing yourself to your full potential. 4. Learn from Criticism Receiving criticism isn’t easy, but it is important. Find the value in it and use it to better yourself, no matter how harsh. 5. Be Inspired by Success Rather than stewing in envy of others’ success, use it as inspiration for your own. Instead of looking at the negatives of a situation, look for the opportunity for your own success. 6. Have a White Belt Mentality Recognize that you can learn from anyone, anywhere, at any time. 7. Cultivate a Sense of Purpose Start with the “why.” The “how” will come later. 8. Believe in Heroes Seek inspiration in those you look up to. Use this to motivate yourself to reach their level and beyond. 9. Develop Self-Awareness Be able to reflect honestly on your progress. Know that you only have as much potential as you allow yourself to have. Are you at 85 percent growth mindset/15 percent fixed mindset or vice versa? Either way, you can begin shifting your current mindset to one of total growth right this very second.
