Celebrate progress over perfection from "summary" of Mindset by Carol S. Dweck
In the fixed mindset, imperfections are shameful and problematic. They're something to be denied and hidden. It's so important to look perfect, to be perfect, that everything else pales in comparison. In the growth mindset, imperfections are something to be acknowledged, shared, and celebrated. They're what make us human, what connect us to each other. It's so important to be growing, learning, and improving, that everything else comes second. In the fixed mindset, setbacks and failures are signs of inadequacy. They're proof that we're not good enough, that we'll never be good enough. In the growth mindset, setbacks and failures are signs of progress. They're proof that we're pushing ourselves, challenging ourselves, and growing. They're not the end of the road, but just a bump along the way. In the fixed mindset, success is about proving how great we are. It's about showing the world that we're better than everyone else. In the growth mindset, success is about learning and growing. It's about becoming the best version of ourselves, not about being better than others. It's about celebrating our progress, not our perfection. When we focus on progress over perfection, we free ourselves from the shackles of the fixed mindset. We allow ourselves to make mistakes, to fail, to learn, and to grow. We shift our focus from being the best to becoming our best. We embrace the imperfections that make us unique, that make us human. We celebrate the journey, not just the destination. And in doing so, we open ourselves up to a world of endless possibilities and opportunities for growth.
