Our Mindset - the beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions that filter our experiences - shapes our realities in profound ways.
Mindset is more than just a fleeting thought or belief; it’s the lens through which we view the world. It’s the filter that colors our experiences and determines our responses to challenges and opportunities. It’s the difference between seeing an obstacle as an insurmountable wall or a stepping stone on the path to growth.
Extensive research shows that Mindset has a major influence on our perceptions, behavior, effort, resilience, and outcomes.
Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck coined the terms “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” to describe the underlying beliefs people carry about their abilities and potential.
People with a Fixed Mindset believe intelligence, talent, and abilities are static. They are more likely to avoid challenges that may reveal deficiencies, to give up when facing obstacles, and to ignore criticism. They are also more likely to feel threatened by the success of others.
Those with a Growth Mindset, on the other hand, see abilities as mutable qualities that can be developed through dedication and hard work. They tend to embrace challenges, learn from criticism, and find inspiration in the success of others.
