Thoughts:
One of the most important questions that you can ask the person that you want to have a relationship with is next: Do you get excited by hard problems and challenges? Or: Are you embracing activities that push your limits in order to get better and grow? If the answer is: YES, you can keep going and if is: NO, you should stop right there. But even is the answer is: YES, you should better look to their actual actions than listen to their words. If their words don’t map on their actions, you should definitely get out as soon as possible from that relationship, because that person destroyed a core value for a good relationship and for life in general: TRUTH. Find a honest, curious, modest and emphatic person that incorporates a growth mindset.
When you have a growth mindset, you are not just seeing the challenges and the hard stuff like ways to get better, but you are also searching for bigger challenges in order to level up your current version. You don’t know how bigger you can get, if you keep taking on harder tasks and more responsibility.
If you have the growth mindset, you are already a winning player, because this mindset is anti-fragile, resilient and flexible. You are on the attack conquering your excuses , the obstacle is your way and you are define by a brighter future that is based on all the obstacles you overcome until now and how much better you have get. You are grounded in reality and not pushed around by your emotions. This mindset is the basic foundation for winning this head game called: LIFE.
Notes:
Word that reveals a growth mindset is: YET, ex: I’m not able to do that, yet.:)
Work on yourself
Get better sleep and food, take more proper care of yourself
You must never do things because of other people, you are not here to impress anyone, except yourself
Engage only in activities that require a better version of yourself, that pushes your limits and capabilities. You grow by getting bigger than your challenges.
People don’t change because it doesn’t hurt badly enough, like a nail scratching you foot, is uncomfortable but not enough to make you take action.
People don’t because they don’t reach their rock-bottom (lowest point of existence) and from there they either give up on life for good or they fully embrace it and start living again with full responsibility for their well-being.
