Before you pour your first cup of coffee, let me pour something else into your dayโfuel for your mindset. Because sometimes one sentence can flip your entire morning.
You have seen different people do the same thing with others. But oftentimes, their results are not always the same. Some people get higher results, others get lower results and the remaining people stay average.
Just like you, I wondered why. That's why I researched and want to share with you now. Follow me, if you want to know the best way to do things. It doesn't matter what you want to do. It doesn't matter where you are at the moment. Once you engage what I'm about to share with you, you'll see massive results.
So, if you're still curious, the best way to do things is to ๐๐ช๐ก๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ง๐๐ค๐ช๐จ! Yes! It's that simple, but not as simple as it sounds. You may ask, "What exactly is a growth mindset, and how do I cultivate it?" I'm still with you, just follow me.
According to a Stanford University Psychology Professor, Carol Dweck, a growth mindset is ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ . It's the idea that our skills and talents aren't fixed at birth, but can be improved with effort and learning.
Now that you've understood what a growth mindset is, let's look at how you can cultivate it. Individuals with a growth mindset embrace challenges, see effort as a path to mastery, and see feedback as an opportunity to learn.
To cultivate a growth mindset, Prof. Dweck suggests that you:
1๏ธโฃ ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด: Because you want a growth mindset, challenges must not discourage you, but rather make you curious. Embrace them as stepping stones, and have an open mind to learn, from whatever challenge it is that's before you.
2๏ธโฃ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐: Some individuals focus only on results. That's why they engage in examination malpractice, misappropriate funds and do all sorts of illegal things. But you must focus on the efforts that are required and then invest them. When what is required is more than effort, sit back and strategise, then implement accordingly.
3๏ธโฃ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐: Do you cry or feel sorry for yourself just for making a terrible mistake? It's time to move on and learn a valuable lesson from that mistake. Then don't just apply it to your life, also share the lesson (s) with other individuals who are at such risks.
4๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต-๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐น๐: Lastly, but not least. Surround yourself with growth-minded individuals. It makes your effort a work-over, as these individuals will keep you motivated always. So, find a group or organisation of such people. The more diverse the group is, the better for you. If you're at the University, you can join Enactus like I did. You can join JCI, Reading clubs, SDGs club etc.
I hope you enjoyed and have learnt from what you read. The next time you do anything, expect your results to be higher than usual; because you've learnt the best way to do things, today. Please, leave your key takeaway in the comments if you're not too busy.
