Let's start by defining what a growth mindset is. So that you can understand if you have it or not and if you don't, then we can talk about some ways to develop it.

 

A Growth Mindset is a mindset where you think you can learn and improve everything, including your human intelligence. As we now know, we have multiple intelligence, like emotional intelligence, social intelligence, professional, financial and even spiritual intelligence that we can always improve.

 

And what are we comparing the growth mindset to? We are comparing it to a fixed mindset.

 

A fixed mindset would say: "This is who I am, this is where my limit is, I can't improve my skills or capacity, I cannot grow."
