Growth 

“Don’t go through life; grow through life”. Eric Butterworth

We all have an approach to life that is a habit we have developed or an attitude to life that determines how we are likely to respond in any given situation. Many have a fixed approach to life, repeating the same year, time and again, making the same mistakes and believing that their basic qualities, like their intelligence or their skills are fixed. Those with this fixed state may use their talents but rarely consider how they can be improved. They may see feedback as a criticism instead of an opportunity for personal learning and growth.

However, those with a ‘Growth’ approach to life believe that our basic abilities can be constantly developed through curiosity, interest and effort. A Growth approach to life says that our brains and innate talent are really just the starting point and we are never the finished article.

Those with a Growth approach to life embrace a love of learning and build resilience to enable them to move through life positively. We can all learn to adopt a Growth approach: it enhances relationships, helps us achieve our life goals and creates a life full of opportunities.

“If you have a positive mindset and are willing to persevere, there is little that is beyond your reach. The attitude of being ready to work even in the face of challenges and despite odds is what will make all the difference in your life.” Roopleen
