The Difference Between A Growth And A Fixed Mindset.

// THREAD //
Getting out of a fixed mindset can be difficult.

What happens over time is that people learn certain habits or patterns of beliefs that are tied to specific experiences that are often painful.

These experiences compound until the person becomes convinced that's how life is.
What Is A Fixed Mindset?

A fixed mindset can be loosely defined as a narrow and precise view of reality where we are sure about certain things.

And they are only true because a fixed mindset person believes in them so strongly.
How will somebody with a fixed mindset ever change the world with a revolutionary invention?

It will not be possible.

People of a fixed mindset observe the world as it is.

People of a growth mindset create the world as they would like it to be.

This is a huge difference.
Take for example of a fixed mindset in relation to money, people have certain ideas about how much their time is actually worth.

So the person who values his/her time at $15/hour will apply for jobs that reinforce the idea that they are worth $15/hour and sabotage jobs with $30h
Competition is very difficult at the bottom and medium levels because everyone is fighting it out.

But it actually gets very easy in the upper echelons of management because they believe they are worth every penny though they often do less work.
It can actually be easier to shoot for high-end jobs if you have the appropriate psychology compared to working your way up step by step. The top is not crowded.

This is a reflection of the esoteric principle that the whole universe is a product of the mind.
What we believe internally is reflected back to us and we then proceed to believe that this reflection is actually the truth of existence.
What Is A Growth Mindset?

A growth mindset focuses on expansion at all times as opposed to trying to preserve the existing situation.

While finances are the easiest and most obvious example to give, these 2 concepts can be applied to health, relationships, creativity..
If you grow a company or a business, you can grow your relationships or even spiritual success.

People with a growth mindset are not focused on the past or even with current difficulties.

They are focused on creative ways to grow that can completely bypass existing issues.
It comes down to a question of focusing on lack or focusing on growth?
From A Fixed To A Growth Mindset.

Going from a fixed to a growth mindset can take some work.

This is because habits and psychological tendencies can be extremely entrenched in your psyche.

So we have to adopt the best practices in order to observe what is truly possible.
One of the best ways to gain a growth mindset is to observe the other half lives, the richest 1% of society.

You will find that they do not pay any attention to what is commonly written on the internet about the best financial practices.
They are in the mindset of wealth and they constantly expect wealth to flow.

However, for somebody who is used to watching every penny and budgeting all the time, It can be very difficult to accept this.

If you did not have a privileged upbringing you can still adopt this mind.
Deep down, we have very strong convictions based on prior experiences

And it is these deeply held beliefs that stop us from growing in a very real sense.

Mindfulness and meditation can help to observe these beliefs without having any negative reactions.
