The Growth Mindset in Relationships

In the fixed mindset, it's easy to get into a competition with your partner. Who's the smarter, more talented, more likable one? Susan had a boyfriend who worried that she would be the center of attention and he would be the tag-ong. The growth mindset lets you rise above blame,. understand the problem, and try to fix it together. We'd turn to our friend and say, look what you made me do. Blame may make you feel less foolish, but you still have a shoe full of ice cream and a friend who's on the defensive.
