Growth or Fixed
A great rapper once said
"More afraid of success than failure"
I keep thinking to myself doesn't he mean
More afraid of failure than success
It took a good teacher to help me realize
If you are afraid of failing
You have a fixed mindset
You are so afraid of failing you won't do anything challenging
You stay right where it's easy for you
But then I learned
What a growth mind set is
It's when you do things even if you know you are going to fail
I learned that Eminem has a growth mindset
Eminem keeps trying till he succeeds
Every time he reaches success
He keeps going
The feeling of reaching success drives him to keep going
We need to have a growth mindset
Part of the word growth is grow
We need to grow
We need to open our minds
Instead of saying this is impossible
We need to say this is possible
Because when you have a growth mindset
Anything is possible
