Growth in life = Growth Mindset = I Can Do It Attitude

In life we all get a chance to choose.

When and where we start our journey does not matter as much as how far we go in the long run matters.

Anyone can  embrace the fruits of long term and wide level success only if  he/she cultivates a growth mindset. 

You can have either a Growth mindset or a Fixed mindset as illustrated by Harvard Business Review.

Life gives you both options and everyone gets to make choice. 

You can however change your ‘fixed’ mindset to a ‘growth’ mindset by actively pursuing the path that leads you to the “growth mindset”. 

If you are happy with a fixed job and a fixed salary then a ‘fixed’ mindset may be good enough for you otherwise not.

Fixed mindset will give you limited success and growth whereas Growth mindset can shower you with tremendous success and career growth.

Here are some of the practical steps you can implement to achieve a growth mindset;

Fall in love with challenges: 

See all the challenges as opportunities for development and growth.

Therefore, instead of rejecting them embrace them with full heart and soul. 

• Proactively seek feedback: Always ask for feedback from from your peers, subordinates, superiors, everybody.

Those who you believe can give you honest and realistic and not flowery feedback. 

Accept the feedback be it negative or positive and work on them to make yourself better everyday.

That is the way to achieve self development. 

• Settle for continuous learning mindset: Continuously learn and improve from everyday situations.

More the knowledge you have , more the impact you can make. 

Build new perspectives, think differently, have a meaningful opinion.

Learn new skills, new language, whatever you like.

The key here is ”incremental” learning and growth.

Do this everyday inch by inch for 10s of years and you will find yourself  continuously growing in life and career goals.

The more you can learn the more you can earn. 

• Build resilience when faced with failures: Practically speaking without failing first you can never achieve any big heights in life.

You have to be ready to fail as many times as needed to learn and come back even stronger every time.

Each failure should be different than the previous which means you are learning from each failure and that is the way to go.

If you repeat the same failure then you are not going anywhere. 

Tell yourself, I faced this failure/disappointment, but I am not stopping here, rather I will find a more creative approach to deal with this failure next time.

Thus, keep going until you find a solution for it. 

• Shift the focus from ‘Can not do it’ to “CAN DO it”: 

If you very strongly feel you can do it then you will figure a way out to do it, otherwise not as simple as that.

So when you get any new opportunity, jump on it and work your way out.

Others start to believe you when you see you have a ‘can do’ mindset and they will give you more and more opportunities to prove yourself.

That is the way to achieve big success and growth in life. 

Be persistent in whatever you pursue:

In most situations, you are not gonna get success overnight.  SO you have to diligently keep trying for months and years to get to a big milestone. 

The key to tell your mind that ”I am not gonna give up at any cost until I reach my target”. 

That is the mindset you need to keep fighting for the long term goals and building a growth mindset.

Here is how you build a success formula with a growth mindset. 

Challenge: A growth mindset always embraces new challenges and considered them as opportunities to grow.

Effort: When you start to believe in your ability then put in the effort.

Learning: When you carry a growth mindset then you focus on learning from mistakes and experiences. You consider setbacks become stepping stones and thus look for opportunities to refine your skills.

Skill Development: By putting in the necessary effort, you develop highly valuable skills that are sought after in the job market.

Career Growth: The golden combination of a growth mindset, which leads to strong skill development, positions you for career advancement and increased earning potential.

Finally, 

• Embracing a growth mind means believing in the power of effort, tenacity, and relentless learning to propel you towards heights which were deemed impossible.

• Those with growth mindset soar, fueled by their unwavering belief in the potential for growth and the capacity to turn dreams into reality.

• Growth mindset is your compass to extraordinary achievement and boundless potential.

TRUE GREATNESS does not lie in innate talent or luck but in the unwavering commitment to growth and improvement that defines the mindset of those who dare to dream, strive and achieve beyond imagination.
