Fixed mindset vs growth mindset
The fixed mindset leads to a desire to look smart
This causes a tendency to:
- Avoid challenges
- Get defensive or give up easily
- See effort as fruitless
- Ignore constructive criticism
- Feel threatened by the success of others
The fixed mindset person, it happens to all of us, and it’s a sad place to be.
Because growth mindsets lead to a desire to learn:
- Embracing challenges
- Persisting through adversity
- Give effort
- Learn from everything
- Find lessons and inspiration especially when others succeed.
This is the mindset hat to wear all the time, everytime
But it’s easier said than done, because the fixed mindset is there to protect us
And if we can shed that attachment?
The world is our oyster – doing anything you want, just not everything
Picking and choosing what we want, consciously.
That’s worth something
