Why Mindset Matters.
Mindset is our perception of our reality. It is our mental attitude of opinions that we have formed about something through our experiences, our education, our upbringing and our culture.
Our mindset plays an essential role in how we see the world, make decisions, cope with challenges and live our lives. People with fixed mindsets typically seek approval, view mistakes as failures, and are focused on being judged or not living up to expectations.
“We think we see the world as it is, when in fact, we see the world as we are.”
—Stephen Covey
People with growth mindsets, on the other hand, view errors as a means of learning and achieving potential.
They are focused on exploring, embracing new experiences and looking at challenges as a way to develop and grow.
As a result, they show greater resilience and more perseverance that can lead to greater achievement with ease.
