Shoremates,

Welcome back to the legendary Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck.

In this episode, we cover Chapter 2, entitled "inside the mindsets."

Chapter two covers the difference between a fixed and growth mindset in greater detail, along with several case studies and answers to rebuttals she has received over the years. 

Action Items:

1.  Do you view yourself as superior to others in your field, and that is what is needed in order to feel validation?  If others work harder than you, do you feel they are below you?
2. What is it that you truly want to accomplish?  If we view effort as necessary in order to achieve our goals in life and that effort is actually a good thing, how much effort do you need to apply towards your goals?
3. Take action today on whatever it is you need to apply effort in, and take heart in knowing that just because you have to apply effort doesn’t mean that your value is any less. 

Shoremates, I understand that this episode can be a bit of a doozy, as it is literally changing the way you think.  Relisten to it as much as you need to, give yourself grace, and Always, always remember.  You’ve got this.
