Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset

Do you like going out of your comforts every now and then?
Do you like developing new skills and improving existing ones?
Do you like changing yourself for the better?

If yes, you have a growth mindset. If not, you have a fixed mindset. People with fixed mindset are prone to staying average -- whereas, people with growth mindset keep on pushing their average skills to grow further and further.

Following are some of the facts about people with growth mindset and people with fixed mindset:

  • For a growth mindset, success is the "process" of pushing themselves to achieve goals. Whereas, for a fixed mindset, success is "proving" themselves to others. 
  • People with growth mindset have the ability to stay innovative by taking constant inputs, analysis and criticism to further improve what they do. While, people with fixed mindset want to stick with what they know the best and what they are good at without giving much emphasis to good input, analysis and criticism. 
  • People with growth mindset do mistakes, learn from them and improve -- while, people with fixed mindset do mistakes and quit. 
  • People with growth mindset are explorers of new ventures -- whereas, people with fixed mindset are stuck in their comfort zones. 

To conclude, everything is in a constant flow -- that is how life works. Getting stuck in your brick-wall and not climbing it or pushing yourself to cross it, takes the life out of you.
