Colin O’Brady Instagram – Go from thinking in terms of what you can’t do to what you can do. A fixed mindset says, “I’m this person in this moment, and I’ll never be anything different.” You tell yourself you’re good at math but not very creative — or that you have an ear for music but not for languages. It’s what it is, and you are who you are…end of discussion. These fixed notions become a part of your identity, in such a way that you’re not very likely to grow or change or try something new. A growth mindset says, “I may be this one person in this moment, but there’s no reason I can’t grow, evolve, and learn to be any other type of person in the next moment.” It’s the idea that through hard work and determination, you can learn and improve. Embracing a growth mindset is a crucial component of living with a Possible Mindset.
