Description

Our brains are physiologically wired for survival, which is not the same as being set up for success. Consequently, we unconsciously seek out situations that will enable us to feel safe and secure while minimizing circumstances that trigger a fear-based response. That risk aversion can work against us by sabotaging our growth and development.

In fact, failure is a necessary part of success. However, that can be a challenging concept to embrace and embody unless we adopt a growth mindset. When individuals exhibit a growth mindset, they believe that their most basic abilities can be developed, and improved upon, which cultivates learning and resilience.

In contrast, in a fixed mindset, we avoid situations where we might experience setbacks because we want to look good. As a result, people who have a growth mindset are more likely to maximize their potential. They tend to learn from criticism rather than ignoring it, to overcome challenges rather than avoiding them, and to find inspiration in the success of others rather than feeling threatened. The goal for all of us is to explore when we are approaching situations with a fixed mindset so that we can create the behavioral shifts that will support a growth mindset.
