At the heart of continuous learning lies the belief that your abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and effort. Psychologist Carol Dweck coined this the “growth mindset,” contrasting it with a “fixed mindset,” where people assume their talents are static. By seeing challenges as chances to stretch your capabilities rather than threats to your self-esteem, you:
- Welcome feedback as fuel for improvement.
- Persist in the face of setbacks, viewing them as experiments rather than failures.
- Celebrate small wins, recognizing incremental progress.
Cultivating this mindset requires self-awareness: notice when you label something “too hard” and reframe it as “an opportunity to learn.”
