Week 7: Growth Mindset

I think that the greatest place for me to apply the Growth Mindset idea in my own life is not only in my academic studies, but also in my relationships.

Something that has always been important to me is the power of family and friendships. Growth mindset ideas can be applied to people as well as schooling because sometimes we fail at relationships and we have to know how to fix them and to move on from past hurts.

For instance, I am closest to my three roommates. Something I always want to be aware of is how I am showing them love. Some weeks, I do not show love as well because I am focused on myself and what I have to do for that week. They are always so caring for me and they always take steps to make sure that I know I am loved. They have cleaned the apartment for me as well as buying me small gifts to show their appreciation for me as a friend. I hope that I am able to reciprocate this feeling as well as they have for me.

The growth mindset makes me want to move past the times that we have not gotten along as friends/roommates and focus on the future moments. Life is too short to not love well.
