Having a growth mindset is when you believe your gifts and talents can be developed through hard work, strategies, planning, and input from others. How do you know you have grown? What are the signs you are looking for to reflect a growth mindset? In season 1, episode 7, I speak about the signs I look for in my life to show I have grown. I haven't grown just because I say I have grown, but I require proof! The proof I am looking for is if I am responding to a situation, in the same manner, I use to or has my response changed. There is an old song by Rose Royce that goes, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore." When someone, that knew you when comes knocking at your door looking to get you to respond like the old you would, are you responding as they expected or are you able to say to them, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore?" I challenge you this week to make out a list of the ways you respond to certain situations and how you would like to respond. As these situations come full circle, take note if you are responding as the "old you" would, or are you responding as the person you want to be with the behavior you want to display?
Don't forget to check out the Instagram page for the "Nice 2 Meet U" podcast @nice2meetupodcast. I would like to hear how your growth lists are going and what ideas you have come up with to change the way you respond to meet your desired behavior. Also, if you want to share any thoughts or questions about anything I have said in previous episodes.
In the meantime keep being great, keep being amazing, and keep being beautiful until next time. Lastly, keep Jeremiah 29:11 on your heart, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Nice 2 Meet U, let's go!
