This cycle does not need to continue and growth can be gained by investigating which direction our mindset is going. Is it a "fixed mindset," believing that it is what it is and nothing will ever change or is it a "growth mindset," which is a belief that with continued practice and effort, using different tools and strategies, growth can be accomplished in all areas of life? Wherever you are at, this episode will help self-awareness, spark conversation, and give an analogy that will leave you wanting to move mountains with your amazing mind!
