What the heck is Mindset anyway?
Mindset meaning:
A Mindset is the set of beliefs that you have acquired growing up, and now you adhere to it unflinchingly.
Mindset can be static or dynamic, it differs from people to people. We come across people that we find to be insanely productive, self-motivated, optimist, and Successful.
Well, envious people say, that they got lucky, but that's a blatant lie.
The Truth is that they knowingly or unknowingly are tapping into the Mindset game. Your mindset game depends extensively on your environment, your parenting, the people you hang out with.
Hence, it is said over and over again, that you must be highly selective of people who you are gonna befriend. You are letting those people take control over your subconscious mind.
The bottom line is that even if you have had a rather unflattering and disappointing life know this for the fact that things can indeed change for good and only you get to decide and implement that change.
What makes Mindset the new psychology of success?
There are plenty of Mindsets that exists on the Internet, but only 2 Mindsets matter
- Success Mindset
- Money Mindset
- Wealth Mindset
- Money Mindset
- Poverty Mindset
- Negative Mindset
- Positive Mindset
- Mindset of greatness
You do realize where I'm going with this, don't you?
The only two Mindsets that you have to keep in Mind are
Fixed Mindset
Growth Mindset
Fixed Mindset
A Fixed Mindset, as the name suggests is the one that would accept the defeat without any struggle.
That is the Mindset that you've thrived upon growing up, maybe your acquaintances and environment instilled this Mindset in you. For example, if someone who has grown up knowing and feeling only poverty would accept poverty as a constant in life, that cannot be changed.
The society and acquaintances exacerbate your situation by reassuring your belief, instead of breaking the pattern.
However, there will be people who would try to break the pattern, but they are always going to be in minority.

Fixed Mindsetters would say,
Math isn't meant for me
Science isn't meant for me
I cannot clear my graduation
I cannot chase this Dream
I cannot pass
I cannot do Public Speaking
It is my destiny to lead a miserable life
I cannot compare myself to them
Now let's talk about 'Growth Mindset'
A Growth Mindset as the name suggests is growth-centric. A Growth Mindset would never accept defeat.
A Growth Mindset would instead of using the word 'Cannot' would use the word ' Not yet'
Simply by using the word ' Not yet' you dramatically increase your chances of achieving what now would seem inconceivable.
You can work on what seems to be a hindrance now, which would tomorrow become your strength.
Who could have thought that a toddler who used to fear to ride a tricycle would ride a Car in adulthood?
That is exactly the Philosophy with the growth mindset, you just aren't allowed to use the toxic words like 'I Can't'
Persistent people often stand apart, the universe is left with no choice but to amend their needs.
Think about that climax scene from Doctor Strange, Strange was persistent with his bargain to Dormammu. His persistence coupled with his stubbornness was the perfect blend to make Dormammu accept the defeat and accept the bargain.
It is my destiny to lead a miserable life
I cannot compare myself to them
The Moment you use the corrupted word 'Cannot', you jeopardize your chances of achieving anything.

Law of Attraction is closely linked with the growth mindset. In the law of attraction, we are repeatedly told to believe and have faith in what we wish to seek and thus we shall receive it when it's time.

If you wish to change your life for good, then obviously you have to abandon your fixed mindset and embrace the growth mindset for a change.
Repeating the same mistakes over and over again, and expecting different results is insanity
