The Growth Mindset

Even when you think you're not good at something, you can still plunge into it wholeheartedly and stick to it. This is a wonderful feature of the growth mindset. It's tempting to create a world in which we're perfect. Do you want to never grow? Next time you're tempted to surround yourself with worshipers, go to church. In the rest of your life, seek constructive criticism. Is there something in your past that you think measured you? A test score? A dishonest or callous action? Being fired from a job, being rejected. Focus on that thing. Feel all the emotions that go with it. Now put it in a growth mindset perspective.
