A Growth Mindset, as defined by Carol Dweck, is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. 🌱 In contrast, a fixed mindset assumes that traits are innate and immutable, a growth mindset emphasizes the potential for growth and improvement. 💡 People with a growth mindset view challenges as opportunities for learning, embrace setbacks as stepping stones toward mastery, and persist in the face of obstacles with resilience and determination. 💪 They understand that effort and persistence are key factors in achieving success and are more likely to thrive in the face of adversity. 🎯 Now, doesn't that sound like a typical martial arts class? 🥋 Where we are constantly focusing on improving.

At its core, martial arts is more than just a physical practice; it's a way of life deeply rooted in philosophy. 🙏 Beyond the punches and kicks lies a profound ethos emphasizing self-improvement, respect, and perseverance. 🥋 This philosophical underpinning aligns seamlessly with the principles of a growth mindset, where setbacks are viewed as opportunities for learning and growth rather than insurmountable barriers.
So, let's talk about failure for a second. 🛑 Actually, Carol Dweck's video titled, "Developing a Growth Mindset with Carol Dweck," puts a wonderful spin on failure; I highly recommend you watch it after this one. 📺 I'll drop the link in the description below. 🔗 How we view failure is an important step in developing that growth mindset. 🤔 Do you view it as the end? ❌ I failed, I can't do this, I suck, or do you view it as, Dang, I need to try that again. 💡 What did I get wrong? 🤔 What do I need to do to overcome this obstacle? 💪 Let me try that again. 🔄 I love watching beginners try to get the front roll. 🤸 They never get it right on the first try. 🎯 And what's even more exciting is seeing them try it again and again until they get it right, and even after they get it right, they are continually improving it. 📈 Which means, there was no right...
That leads us to another important perspective on achieving the growth mindset: A passion for learning. 📚 Of course, when you decide to step on the mat and learn a martial art, you've already checked that box off, but be aware of its importance so that you can use it to transcend the dojo and apply it to every aspect of your life. 💼 This passion for learning translates into the power of learning, the power of becoming. 🌟 Most likely, you stepped on the mat to become a black belt. 🥋 You become that black belt through the mastery of knowledge, techniques, philosophy, and culture. 🌐 This is such an important part of the philosophy of the martial arts, which, by the way, is very supportive of the idea that we can learn to become anything we want to. 💭 Be a doctor, be a lawyer, be a teacher, be rich, be smart, be active, I hope you get the idea!
Now, here's the kicker, an very important part of this philosophy that isn't seen upfront. 🎬 Getting your black belt is just the beginning. 🌅 You just learned to walk. 🚶♂️ You might think you're a master, but it's the exact opposite. 👀 That was just a illusion to get you to step on the mat. 🎭 The mastery is in trying to improve just a little bit every day, even after 50 years of learning. 📅 Continual improvement, not compared to other people, but compared to who you were yesterday...
There is not right or wrong, there's the journey of becoming better each day. 🔄 Now that's something you can take out of the dojo! 🌟
