have you ever wondered why some people thrive Under Pressure but some others crack and crumble have you ever wondered why some people are always on the search for more seeming never content and always conquering new challenges yet others remain stagnant seemingly uninterested in self-development or self-improvement have you ever wondered why some people see working for themselves as a great risk While others see it as an absolute must the answer lies in their mindset some people have what is called a fixed mindset and some have a growth mindset these two mindsets are the reason you see
problems or challenges mountains or mere hurdles these two mindsets can have a huge influence on your life the two mindsets were first identified by Carol DW who wrote the book mindset the new psychology of success let's go over them in more detail fixed mindsets people might think I've been this way and I'll always be this way the fixed mindset doesn't see possibilities or opportunities it sees things how they've always been and expects that is how they will continue to be but of course that just not true you have the ability to change and improve any
situation as soon as you change and improve your mindset according to the author in a fixed mindset people believe their basic qualities like their intelligence or Talent are simply fixed traits they spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them they also believe that Talent alone creates success without effort two the growth mindset here's how the author defined a growth mindset in a growth mindset people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work brains and talent are just the starting point this view creates a love of
learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment those who live with a growth mindset tend to believe they can develop into anyone and achieve anything through hard work work and dedication these individuals think of tough situations as challenges not threats they see each obstacle as an opportunity to grow and develop while people with fixed mindsets tend to be negative and afraid of failing people with a growth mindset are the exact opposite they rarely fear failure as they know no failure is permanent and they usually bounce back very fast from any failure so what
mindset do you have a fixed mindset that avoids challenges or a growth mindset that seeks challenges a fixed mindset that seeks Comfort or a growth mindset who is never comfortable keep in mind you are not born with these mindsets you've developed them throughout your life journey and you can develop a new mindset if that is your choice
