Salaams and Good Morning !
Here is your daily dose of Wisdom for Living Your Best Self!
We have been comparing fixed mindsets versus growth mindsets and hopefully we are beginning to see the value of cultivating a growth mindset for ourselves.
Many of us may already have a growth mindset in some areas of our lives and yet be stuck in a fixed mindset in others.
For example, I could be very successful in my career and be updating my skill set through continuous professional development and yet believe that I am just unlucky at relationships, or health, or …. Do you get the picture? Just because we have a growth mindset in one area of our lives does not automatically mean that we have the same set of beliefs in others.
John Maxwell in his book The 15 invaluable Laws of Growth reiterates what we have been saying over and over again: that all change and growth begins with awareness and intention. To put it another way, positive change and growth does not happen by accident. If we were to ignore an area of our lives, it is more likely that it would devolve rather than grow. The scientific law of atrophy says the same thing: that which is not used or nourished will degenerate or devolve over time.
Wishing you a day full of positivity, purpose and peace.
