Growth!!!

Growth is a life essential, major evidence of life. Without it, life would be at a standstill, like stagnant water bodies.

I am going to talk about growth, the definitions I have given growth so far based on my journey but before then, you need to understand that there are two types of mindset and they are; Growth mindset which I similarly call 'positive mindset', and Fixed mindset which I termed 'negative mindset'.

The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it even when it's not going well, Is the hallmark of mindset growth. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging moments.
Talking about a fixed mindset, people with this mindset have refused to learn and practice what they have learned. Speculating that success by luck or gift that we get gifted than others, they let their delinquency or failure define them and also condemn themselves.
In a growth mindset, failure can be a painful experience. But it doesn't define you. All you need is to face it, deal with it, and learn from it most importantly.

My definitions; #experience
Growth is a phase. It is a journey.

Growth is when you learn passionately and put it into your daily practice.

Growth is also when you accept who you are.

Growth is when you learn from your mistakes.

When you don't necessarily lower your self-esteem to fit into others' standards. This act is what is called growth.
Growth occurs when you embrace yourself, irrespective of who you are or what you've been through.

Growth is letting go when necessary.

Growth is likewise prioritizing self-care and not seeing it as a form of selfishness.

Growth is life # #growth #mindset
So live to the fullest.
