 The next thing is master your mindset and when I think about mindset I really like the way that carol dweck breaks it down with her Fixed mindset versus growth mindset in case you're not familiar with it fix mindset people They're the type of people who think I am naturally blessed and when I do something and it goes my way It's because I'm so awesome It works until you run up against something that you're not so good at then what happens. Oh man Maybe I'm not so blessed after all. Maybe I'm not as awesome as I thought You know, I'm just gonna stay away from this thing that I'm not good at and So they avoid challenge and they take failure personally Growth mindset people they realize the big secret the big secret is that everything is learnable Everything is a skill and no matter who you are what your genetics are what your home life was what doesn't matter if you Put effort in time. You will get better period maybe you'll be world-class or maybe you won't be but you will get better and These types of people they view failure as just oh learning experience that I tried something it didn't work Well, I'm gonna have to try something different. They don't take it personally I don't want you to take any of that personally because it's all a learning experience and Here's some brain imaging of the fixed mindset versus growth mindset because it isn't just a cool idea The fixed mindset person what's going on? They try to challenge they shut down I'm not I don't know how to do this. I'm done. I give up Growth mindset person what's happening? That brain is working. It's rewiring path creating new neural pathways or you know, obviously I never didn't become a neuroscientist But it it's starting to change. It's starting to learn skills and our brain is plastic in fact oops Our brain is plastic. It's called neuro plasticity It means that the habits that you do Create Who you are and a lot of us make identity statements. Oh, I'm not the type of person who wakes up early or goes to the gym Those are just habits Coming home downing a six-pack and playing video games is also a habit And while it may be hard to change habits, you can do it it's simply a matter of putting the effort in and Oops get a little carried away with the clicker there So you want to achieve more but you procrastinate and and I think a lot of you here You're past that point because you had to overcome a lot of resistance to get here, right? You had to pay money you had to fly or drive That's a big deal But you watching at home. I'm not so sure about Because you should have been here or you should have been at some event Because that's what really matters
