Mindsets are beliefs that you have about yourself and the world. It is how you see the world and it affects how you think, feel, and act.
One test of your mindset is how you answer the question, “Is the glass half full or half empty?”
How you see the glass is your mindset. How you see, think, and feel about yourself is your mindset. How you see, think, and feel about the world is your mindset.
Science and research say that our mindset has a direct effect on our success. If we believe in ourselves and our ability to do hard things, we can do hard things. If we don’t believe in ourselves and our ability to do hard things, we won’t.
In the Bible, it is written that as a man thinks, so is he. The Bible also says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
You have the ability to learn how to do hard things.
Having a Growth Mindset is believing that you have the ability to learn how to do hard things with time and with deliberate practice.
Andres Ericsson is the world’s expert on world experts; he studies what experts do to make them special. He says that deliberate practice has 4 key ingredients:
1 - Specific practice and goal
2 - Focus (100% Focus)
3 - Feedback (Information-rich)
4 - Refinement
You can run every day for a year and never get faster if you don’t have a specific goal, if you aren’t focused, if you don’t get some kind of feedback, and you don’t make any adjustments.
But if you do those things, you will see growth in anything that you do.
