You are on a journey to become something new – a more skilled version of yourself that will do big things in the world. Wow. Open, open, open to what will help you grow. Open yourself to a different perspective. Open yourself to unlearning. Open yourself to changing your mind. Open yourself to accepting criticism as a gift. Open yourself to something you didn’t even know you needed to learn. Open yourself to changing direction. Open yourself to the possibility of failure. Open yourself to being judged by others. Open yourself to becoming something new. Cultivate a growth mindset.
You may or may not have heard of a “growth mindset”. Be assured that it is an evidence-based concept, initially created by Dr. Carol Dweck, that is increasingly understood to be a major determinant of success. Given that evidence, it is worth your time to understand this concept.
