Chapter 1: Grit, Resilience, And The Growth Mindset

There are two types of mindsets that we can have: fixed and growth. The fixed mindset holds that your qualities are unchangeable and unalterable. Meanwhile, the growth mindset entails believing that you can cultivate your own fundamental qualities through your own efforts.

Individuals frequently have a fixed mindset about one aspect of their lives while having a growth mindset about another. Perhaps you've always thought you were bad at math and that others were born with an innate ability to compute. You, on the other hand, are confident in your musical talent and seek opportunities to showcase it as frequently as possible. You believe it is a skill that can be honed with time and practice.

When you demonstrate your talent and receive positive feedback, you use it to improve. You're inspired to keep practicing and honing your skills. With this in mind, it's easy to see why having a fixed mindset holds you back and prevents you from taking advantage of opportunities that present themselves. But how does one cultivate a growth mindset? Grit and resilience are the answers. These three factors combine to form a critical trio that positions you to overcome adversity and achieve success in your life.

Gaining A Growth Perspective Improves Resilience

When you are resilient, you can take a step back from difficult situations, accepting their negative aspects while still finding meaning and opportunity, even in the midst of adversity. When opportunities present themselves, you work harder, set more ambitious goals, and take the necessary steps to achieve those goals.

This is where perspective comes into play. When you look at things more positively, you can greatly increase your resilience. Let's look at why this is so.

When you adopt a positive attitude, your options expand exponentially. Instead of being disabled, you become empowered. You can focus focusing your efforts on the things you can change while accepting the things you can't.

Because you accept negativity with a positive perspective, you naturally become more resilient. When you accept that bad things happen and that there are times when there is nothing you can do to change them, but instead that you can harness your own potential to change those things that you can alter yourself, you gain the power to improve your life.

You become more capable of dealing with problems and overcoming adversity when you recognize that you are the only thing in life over which you have control, and when you have control over any aspect of your life, you can take action to improve your circumstances. Meanwhile, being able to accept the things you can't change without becoming frustrated, angry, or afraid allows you to be at peace with the difficult aspects of your life.
