Shoremates,

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

In this episode, we cover Chapter 3, entitled "the truth about ability and accomplishments."

Chapter three covers several studies which may be hard for you to hear.  If so, I highly recommend purchasing this book and seeing her studies in greater detail. 

Action items

1.  Who in your field do you respect? If no one, who do you admire for being absolutely amazing at their craft?  Look them up and do some research and see exactly how hard they had to work in order to reach their potential.
2. Do you find yourself paying attention to when people compliment you for your intelligence, or lack thereof in an area? Try to reframe it to the action versus on you personally.  Now, do you compliment others based on their actions or do you tell them that they are smart, artistic, intelligent, and so forth?

Shoremates, once again, I understand that this episode can be a lot, as it can challenge entire belief systems from when you were growing up.  Relisten to it as much as you need to, give yourself grace, and I would highly recommend adding this book to your book shelf to see her studies yourself.

Always, always remember, You've got this!
