You’re in charge of your mind. You can help it grow by using it in the right way.

Exceptional people convert life's setbacks into future successes.

...when people already know they're deficient, they have nothing to lose by trying.

When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world (the world of fixed traits) success is about proving you’re smart or talented. Validating yourself. In the other (the world of changing qualities) it’s about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself.

We like to think of our champions and idols as superheroes who were born different from us. We don’t like to think of them as relatively ordinary people who made themselves extraordinary.

It’s for you to decide whether change is right for you right now. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But either way keep the growth mindset in your thoughts then when you bump up against obstacles you can turn to it, it will always be there for you showing you a path into the future.

What did you learn today? What mistake did you make that taught you something? What did you try hard at today?
