The Mentality Of The Growth Mindset

I know some of you have heard about the growth mindset. If you didn’t know it, I will explain it to you a little bit.
What is growth mindset?
A growth mindset is the belief that we can achieve something by harnessing our own potential. I love talking about growth mindsets. It gives you an understanding of the potential that you have as a human being.
Usually, we limit ourselves with insecurity. We believe that we don’t have the talent or genes to achieve our dream. Well, the fact is, you don’t need it. You might not have the talent or gene to achieve your dream, but you have the potential to achieve it without those. You are capable of what you want to become and what you could be. A growth mindset gives you this mentality of achieving and making efforts for yourself.
So, on today’s topic, I want to talk about the mentality of a growth-minded person and how you can achieve it for your success.
As I said before, growth mindset is the belief that you could achieve everything that you want. Well, not everything, because if you want to end the world, I don’t think it’s relevant for achieving those kinds of goals. However, what you could achieve are things like skills, mentality, or even your beloved dreams. Growth mindset is a sheer of willpower and motivation toward achieving something or being competent. Well, if I’m not a growth-minded person, then what am I?
A fixed mindset is the opposite of a growth mindset. A fixed mindset is a belief in the limitation of your potential. This is the mindset of the majority of people. Sometimes we think that we can’t be better or achieve our dreams, and that's a fixed mindset. We limit ourselves because we believe that you are not worthy enough or don’t have the talent or gene to achieve those things. It’s based on insecurity and self-doubt. In reality, you do have the potential to become the monster of your dreams.
Those two mindsets are what we’re going to learn and understand for a better life. If you see yourself often saying these words:
“I can’t . . .”
“I don’t have that talent to…”
“I’m not capable of doing that…”
That is the mindset of a person with a fixed mindset. They always like to blame other people for their unaccomplishment or failure. Well, why do they do that? It’s because they found it easier to blame other people than take responsibility for their own failures. Those mentalities will crush you down, in reality or in life. You will see yourself becoming weaker and weaker if you keep the habit of a fixed mindset.
If you use the opposite, which is the growth mindset, you will become more capable and confident to face or surpass your challenges in life. Reality is afraid of these people. These kinds of people will crush reality, not let reality crush them, because they always strive to become better. A growth-minded person always loves to:
• Evaluate themselves.
• Improve themselves.
• Achieve their goals.
• Learn and teach other people.
because they believe that teaching doubles their learning or improvement. When they help other people, they become more confident in what they can achieve and how they can serve other people.
We need to implement and shift ourselves from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. It’s not easy because our society might change our beliefs that you need talent to become skilled or that you need privilege to become rich, etc. If you could give yourself a small step towards a growth mindset, at the end, you will make yourself a monster of accomplishment. Start by believing that you have the potential to improve.
Achieve your small goals,
reward your effort for achieving them, and
increase the difficulty until you are close to your big goals.
Understand that failure is a step to success. Until then, you will learn how to change your life and achieve. . .
