The Fix Mindset

As a fixed mindseter, I kept track each day of all my successes. Some nights I would still check my mental counters and find them at zero. It made me insecure not being able to toad up my victories. The growth-oriented scientists, artists, athletes, and CEOs we've looked at were far from humanoids going through the motions. They were people in the full flower of their individuality and potency. But opening yourself up to growth makes you more himself, not less.
