he research of Dr. Carol Dweck shows that people's mindset can have a major effect on their success in life.
People with a growth mindset believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The opposite, a fixed mindset can limit learning.People with a growth mindset see failure as a challenge and criticism as a chance to learn, while those with a fixed mindset see failure as a disaster and criticism as a personal attack.
People with a growth mindset have grit and persist in the face of setbacks, while those with a fixed mindset see the first sign of difficulty as proof that their dream was not meant to be.
People with a growth mindset view other's success as inspirational, while those with a fixed mindset envy others' success.
People with a fixed mindset feel the need to prove themselves, to show that they are amongst the few with ability, while those with a growth mindset feel that success is just a matter of time and effort.
Do you believe you are stuck with the hand you were dealt with or do you believe you can increase your talent, intelligence and abilities through hard work? Changing your mindset could be the first step in improving your life.
