3 Things: Facing Adversity & Growth Mindset

1. INSPIRATION

“The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, with every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.” – Ryan Holiday

2. CONTENT

The book, “Mindset” (by psychologist, Carol Dweck), is a must-read. She’s one of the world’s top thought leaders on growth mindset, which I believe is a game-changer for anyone.

A quote from the book: “When there’s a setback, someone with a fixed mindset will start thinking, ‘Maybe I don’t have what it takes?’ They may get defensive and give up. A hallmark of a successful person is that they persist in the face of obstacle, and often, these obstacles are blessings in disguise.” – Carol Dweck

3. CALL TO ACTION

What adversity are you facing today? Just acknowledging it, owning it and making a mental choice that you can do something to resolve it is powerful. How can you do that today?

Have a great rest of the week!
