How To Grow Your Mindset
Growing your mindset is simple in concept: you must be open to change and willing to adapt to it.
--
If you ever want to grow your chances of success, you need to grow your mindset.
This is something that I learned when I first started my self improvement journey. This is what led me to become a writer and generating enough money to support myself financially.
A growth mindset.
Before all of this, I was someone who didn’t know where to go in life, pursuing a career in accounting and eventually becoming a sales rep for a credit card company. Even though I was going somewhere with my life, I felt stuck.
After work, I felt drained and lounged around with no vision or ambition for anything.
But deep down, I had that mindset and when I got serious and started to work on my business, it bloomed into what it is today.
Whether you have a direction in life or not, growing and changing is part of our course. If we can’t learn to grow or be open to change, we can’t advance.
This is a concept people fail to understand as so many of us resist change or generally feel stuck and are unsure what to do. This isn’t to say a growth mindset is the only thing you ever need, but to find any success, this is the way to grow your mindset.
What Is A Growth Mindset
Carol Dweck explained what a growth mindset is in 2014 in the TED talk “The Power Of Believing That You Can Improve.”
In the video she explained what a growth mindset is:
“A growth mindset is when students understand that their abilities can be developed,”
But merely understanding that we’re capable of growth isn’t entirely what a growth mindset is all about. While knowing is one thing, over the years, self improvement writers and life coaches have taken it a step further.
For myself, I feel that a growth mindset, in essence, is knowing that our abilities can be developed…
