Switch From Fixed To Growth
Spark #70 - Make this shift and stop being the reason you’re stuck
I used to believe anything was possible—just not for me.
I wasn’t lucky, smart, or bold enough. I’m so over that.
How about you?
Maybe you say things like:
I always struggle with this.
I don’t have the right degree.
It’s too late for me.
That’s a fixed mindset—and it’s keeping you stuck. 1
It’s time to upgrade your mindset.
Embrace a growth mindset—one that’s open to possibility.
Changing won’t happen overnight; it takes effort.
Start by catching yourself in those old fixed ways and then ask:
• How can I make this work?
• What can I learn from this?
• Who can help me move forward?
Stay open to growth and possibility—or keep repeating the same limiting story.
The choice is yours.
Stop holding yourself back.
Switch from fixed to growth.

Carol S. Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (2006) is a foundational work that introduced the concepts of fixed and growth mindsets, which have shaped modern understanding of personal development and achievement.
I'll take all the reminders to flip the switch back to growth mindset! A fixed mindset is like the default mode of mindset, but also the most boring mode.
