Growth Mindset - Seeing Another Perspective

Y’all...a thing happened today that shifted my thinking about the word “yet.” You see, I’m a believer in Carol Dweck’s work on mindset. You know, a fixed mindset is one where someone believes qualities and talents are un-change-able. A growth mindset is one where someone believes qualities and talents can be fostered, nurtured, and grow. And I’ve just always added to word “yet” to any fixed mindset statements I make to shift my mindset to growth . For example: “I can’t do a headstand...yet!” See what happened there?? Fixed to growth with one simple word! I have banked on “yet” more times than I care to admit. And it has been magical. Until today.
