RE: Growing Up To Like Who You Are

in #steemitbloggers6 years ago

Change is uncomfortable and challenges ones comfort-zone, paradigm and triggers the fear of failure mechanism most humans have. "It's easier to stay in place than push boundaries because what if I don't like it, I'm not good at it or I fail through inability."

I often say activity creates activity when it comes to most things, professional and personal, and the same can be said for change. Changing mindset for instance can open new paths of opportunity which can bring about changes for the positive, or indeed negative, however in accepting change one must also accept/expect challenge and possible failure. Doesn't mean they should stop though. Failure brings opportunity which brings change, which can bring success, or failure. Fall three times, get up four.

Good post brother, and one that brings many challenging thoughts to mind.

Oh man, you hit the nail on the head. Once I figured out that mindset was not a fixed condition but a changeable variable, so many things opened up for me. I owe it to Mindset by Dr. Carol Dwek, an amazing book discussing the potential and power of mindsets.

Most people just don't know how simple a concept it is. Applying it requires so effort though.
