035: Fixed vs Growth Mindset

<p>Something I fundamentally believe is:</p> <p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/226247/Mindset.jpg" alt="" width="302" height="302" /></p> <p>Positive Mindset + Effort = Achievement</p> <p>Positive Mindset Only = Rosy Glasses</p> <p> </p> <p>Mindset takes effort in order to make a difference in your life.</p> <p> </p> <p>Another thing I believe: Mindset and Assumptions are cousins. Let me explain:</p> <p> </p> <p>Assumptions are a set of beliefs or rules that have gone unsaid. These unacknowledged beliefs may be different than someone else’s or different than reality, which can lead you to take a wrong action.</p> <p>Mindset is similar – you can make decisions and take actions everyday based on your mindset. An unexamined or unacknowledged mindset can drive you to take wrong actions.</p> <p>Understanding your mindset is critical in order to recognize the actions you are taking. There are 2 types of mindset:</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #9070cf;">Fixed Mindset</span></p> <p>When you believe you either ‘have it’ or you don’t. What you have is what you have, so no additional effort is required. This mindset is about the outcome.</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #9070cf;">Growth Mindset</span></p> <p>When you believe there is always room to learn. That what you were born with is just a starting point. This mindset is about the experience.</p>
