You may have heard the difference between growth thinking and fixed thinking, and the importance of growth thinking to personal growth. But you may never consider the importance of growing up.
It is not enough to have growth thinking. Many people with growth thinking struggle to exhaustion and finally give up. Even when they don't give up, sometimes it seems painful, because they have been struggling, struggling and struggling again. They constantly pursue happiness and satisfaction, but they can't get it. They may work hard and try, but they always seem to need a massage or holiday, or an uninterrupted massage holiday.
Why is this happening? Such people may have growth-oriented thinking, but if they lack growth-oriented mentality, they are likely to find themselves suffering endless pain after years of struggle.
The following list can help explain this.
Growth thinking includes:
? Opportunity consciousness
? I hope I can keep learning and growing.
? Never use "I don't know how to do it" as an excuse
? Expect yourself to acquire new skills.
? I hope I can continue to improve my existing skills and acquire new ones.
? Expect to have better control over time.
? Investing in long-term self-growth
? Work and career flexibility
? Adaptability to change
? Challenge yourself consciously.
? Set expansion goals (goals that are difficult to achieve and require effort and creativity)
? Actively embrace new experiences and experiences.
? Willing and able to make new friends and establish new relationships.
? Maintain a strong sense of personal boundaries (so that your boundaries and principles will not be easily changed by different ideas or things)
? Gain experience from failure and quickly restore vitality (toughness)
Fixed thinking includes:
? Ignore opportunities
? Think you have mastered most of what you need to know.
? I think schools are for learning. If you don't go to school, you don't have to study, just work.
? Label one's job or occupation.
? Label yourself according to your personality attributes.
? Label yourself according to what you are good at or not good at, and don't want to make big changes in the future.
? Resist change
? Expect to get a predetermined annual income (fixed income thinking mode)
? Fixed social circle (fixed social and family thinking mode)
? Avoid new ideas and opportunities under the pretext of "I don't know how to do it"
? Endure constant violations of one's boundaries and principles.
? Fear of failure, so don't try anything.
If you have read my works for a while, you are likely to be inclined to grow up thinking. The reason why growth thinking is more beneficial to you is obvious.
