How do you see yourself? Are you limited by what you have within you right now? Or can you grow and evolve by moving forward and working diligently to achieve your goals?
Working and writing in the area of business, John Ryan developed three questions oriented on the fixed versus growth concept to apply to businesses. I’ve redesigned the concept to address personal growth—a guide of sort on how to run the “business” of your self. Ask yourself three questions:
How well are you managing your talents? In a busy, difficult world, a lot of us default to just playing off our obvious strengths because we are too rushed or scared to develop any of our other talents and potential strengths. How can we worry about developing a new skill when we have to get by and pay the bills every month? However, in a growth mind-set, you tap all your resources. When you’re oriented on growth, you don’t do the bare minimum just to get by. You bring everything you have to offer to the table.
Ask yourself if you are tapping all your resources. Are you bringing your A-game across the board?
