Mindset by Carol Dwek. Research shows that simple beliefs about ourselves guide & permeate each part of our lives. These beliefs can limit or enhance our potential, joy & success.

Belief’s influence’s self-awareness, self-esteem, authenticity, creativity & our ability to face challenges. It impacts resilience, our passion to achieve our aspirations & focus on excellence. What is this powerful, yet simple belief? MINDSET.

Fixed mindset – stems from a belief that talents & qualities are carved in stone. Who we are – intelligence, personality, attitudes or goals are fixed traits. ‘Smart people succeed’ says a fixed mindset.

Growth mindset – stems from a belief that purpose, creativity or skills can be cultivated through curiosity, clarity, intent, effort, experience & empathy. ‘People can get smarter’says a growth mindset.

It’s realistically possible to stay teachable. Rooted yet flow – lean a certain way in one area, a different way in another. A brilliant & beautiful balance of our intuitive wisdom & rationality. An inspirational read.
