Mindset is such a critical part of success. With the right mindset anything is possible. With the wrong mindset nothing is possible. Here are a few examples to compare a growth mindset to a fixed mindset:
Growth versus Fixed:
- Read every day VS. Watch TV every day
- Compliment others VS. Criticize others
- Embrace change VS. Fear change
- Forgive others VS. Hold a grudge
- Talk about ideas VS. Talk about others
- Continuously learn VS. Think they know it all
- Accept responsibility for their failures VS. Blame others for their failures
- Have a sense of gratitude VS. Have a sense of entitlement
- Set goals and develop life plans VS. Never set goals
I challenge you to identify any areas of your life that are constrained by a fixed mindset and switch it to growth.
