When I was reading Tim Grover’s book ‘Relentless’ recently, this quote really struck a chord within me. It’s a true representation of a growth mindset, rather than a fixed mindset. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👉 Growth Mindset: The hand you’re dealt is just the starting point for development. Based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. (Carol Dweck)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👉 Fixed Mindset: Believing that your qualities are carved in stone. Creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. (Carol Dweck)⁣⁣

⁣⁣This way I’m able to quickly pull myself up the next time I’m acting out of a fixed mindset. I then ask if I can reframe the story I’m telling myself to come from a place of growth instead. The next step is to take action in alignment with this new found angle. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As you move through this process, don’t beat yourself up. You can find happiness in the process as much as you do in the results. I don’t mind experiencing a ‘failure’ as long as I see improvement within myself. I see it as an opportunity to try again. ✅
