Mindset: Revolution

It seems that it is the fashionable term, growth mindset, we hear professionals, coaches, mentors, teachers, even youtubers talk about what growth mindset means, but what is the growth mindset revolution?

Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, in her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, explores the idea that how our beliefs about abilities and intelligence can influence our success and even our personal growth.

Dweck, C, believes that human abilities, such as intellectual ones, can be cultivated, leading an individual to be intelligent, when the individual fails, they may think they are failing, but when they have a growth mindset they believe that failing is likewise to learn.

The way we learn is based on our experiences but also on our beliefs, according to Carol Dweck, “ that the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the things you value. “ (Dweck, 2007, p. 11)

In his work, Dweck talks about two mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. When we live in a fixed mindset, it is when we believe that our abilities, gifts, and talents are fixed and we cannot change or learn them, unlike the growth mindset. , it is believed that talents, intelligence, and abilities, can be developed.

The mindset as a revolution is inviting us to be part of a thought of constant growth, of growth thoughts and that we all have the possibilities and abilities (if we work on them and focus) to learn and develop what we BELIEVE.
