My Diamond Life Journey

Definitions of Growth and Fixed Mindset

A growth mindset is simply the belief that our basic abilities can be developed and improved through dedication and hard work. A growth mindset creates a constant state of improvement, expanding and honing all out inherent talents and gifts, as well as adding to and improving new ones we already have.

Fixed mindset is a mindset that assumes abilities and talents are given, limited and have limited to no improvement. This person believes they were born with certain qualities, both positive and negative, and that these qualities are mostly fixed throughout life.

Advantages of Growth Mindset

Those with a growth mindset are more likely to

- embrace challenges

- use feedback

- learn from failures and mistakes rather than dwell on them

- value learning new things

- accept challenges

- persist

- be driven to achieve their goals

- be more creative because they are more likely to persistently pursue solutions

- focus on bettering oneself rather than protecting oneself

- not feel threatened by the intelligence and success of others. Instead, they will be more likely to admire others, learn from them and find inspiration in their successes.

It generally contributes to a fuller, more meaningful life.

Part of personal growth is about having beliefs to support your best life. This got me thinking about those emotional baggages we carry with us and how we need to let them go to live our best lives. Those inner emotional baggages create messes in our lives, relationships and work places. This episode is about decluttering them so we can grow.

Decluttering happens in 3 steps:

1. Awareness - We need to be aware that we even have emotional baggages, and try to understand where they came from.

2. Organize - After awareness, we now decide when to address these baggages once and for all.

3. Clear out - Finally, we let them go. Not all baggages need to be addressed later, some need to be thrown out and even avoided in the first place.

Everybody wants to be successful, happy and have it all, but what exactly does it mean to have it all? This concept is different for everyone because we all have our own idea of happiness and success. There is no single definition of having it all for every person. On this episode, I help you discover and redefine what “having it all” means to you through 3 ways: your desires, your values and your purpose. One things for sure: regardless of what your definition of “having it all” means, you should always aim for your best and seek excellence.
