A growth mindset put simply is the belief that our intelligence can be developed throughout our lives, and that people's growth is not fixed. See also: [[Fixed mindset]] When we have a growth mindset, it leads to a desire to learn and therefore a tendency to: - Embrace challenges ([[Run at the problem]]) - Persist in the face of setbacks ([[Resilience]]) - See effort and potentially suffering as the path to mastery ([[Suffering leads to growth]]) - Learn from criticism ([[Feedback]]) - Find lessons and inspiration from the success of others As a result, we reach ever-higher levels of growth and achievement.
