The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

Oct 2, 2024    J Calaway

A growth mindset is perseverant, patient, and playful. A fixed mindset is lazy, impatient and fearful. 


A growth mindset is the belief that our abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication, hard work, and learning. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, where we believe our talents are static and unchangeable.


Transformed & Renewed Romans 12:2

The importance of renewing our minds, which is at the heart of a growth mindset."


Obstacles & Opportunities — James 1:2-4

Encourages us to see challenges as opportunities for growth. A growth mindset embraces difficulties as a chance to develop perseverance and maturity.


Fail Forward — proverbs 24:16

Reminds us that failure is not the end. With a growth mindset, we understand that mistakes are part of the learning process. We can rise again, learn from our experiences, and continue to grow.


Assemble & Advance — Hebrews 10:24, 25


A growth mindset isn't just about personal development; it's also about fostering growth in others. We can encourage and support each other in our journeys.


Embrace Challenges: See them as opportunities to grow rather than obstacles.


Learn From Criticism: Use feedback as a tool for improvement.


Celebrate Effort: Focus on the process and the effort, not just the outcome.


Face Setbacks: Remember that perseverance leads to maturity and completeness.


If you’re going to be better than yesterday and better than tomorrow make today count with a growth mindset!
