We as humans have the underestimation of the true capacity of our mindset. In the normalcy
of life, we do not know how to deal with the failures in life. Failures can be painful. But does it define you and prevent you from learning from your mistakes or does it serve as a powerful mechanism to embrace new challenges. Our mind plays a very powerful tool that we cannot know in what we believe and how we think. What we think about ourselves and our abilities decides how we act and lead our life. When you look at successful people or those who have achieved mastery in life, what do you tell yourself – they are more gifted than others, they have talent, their innate abilities made them successful or do you believe success comes from hard work, developing new strategies, drawing inspiration from others, getting, good mentoring, investing in learning and through constant improvement. What you believe is what you achieve. Conscious or unconscious, how you choose to interpret your experiences can set the boundaries on what you can accomplish. There’s power in believing that you can improve and accomplish what you set out to achieve by looking at failures and setbacks as a medium for growth. It is by being resilient in the face of challenging circumstances with unintended consequences. So, how do we shift ourselves from being limited by our abilities and intelligence to finding freedom in building them. Ask yourself how do we commit to a path of learning & growth? We have to have an understanding of how to enable this switch, it’s very important to understand that there are two types of mindsets. The Difference Between Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset A person with a fixed mindset is constrained by their beliefs and thoughts. They believe people are born with special talents and every person has different abilities and intelligence that cannot get better with time, persistence, and effort. They think of failures as a validation of their lack of intelligence and their limited abilities that prevent them from achieving their goals. They give up easily with the fear of failure and a belief that they cannot improve. A person with a growth mindset finds freedom in their thoughts and beliefs. They understand that certain people have special talents and that intelligence varies from person to person, but it’s also something that can be developed and increased with effort and hard work. They take joy in the learning process that comes from seeking new information, forming new strategies, and taking inspiration from others. They embrace difficulties and challenges as a means to develop new skills and grow.
