Technology: What's your Mindset?

Loving the "Challenge Accepted" or sweating miserably through failure?

I think when I am assessing myself, I am definitely a combination of both a fixed and growing mindset. I like to think of it as a package deal! I like to think there are things that I am just naturally the bomb at, and I always will be and I express those just as so. I am comfortable, and natural when expressing these things, and everything is all good. However, I also have basic qualities that that I have cultivated through my efforts and learning experiences. I think that these two things go hand in hand. Maybe your interest is your fixed mindset- "I know I am athletic. I show this." The growth pieces comes in when you expand this thought to different aspects of athletics that become new to you that you learn to the bump and grind- "Man I am good at this, so I'm going to fail through this a little and get okay at it. Starting with the basics baby...."

I think there is definitely some gray here in the middle and some crossing over!

I love in the beginning of the Mindset reading where it's talking about the huge surprise of the kiddos loving the challenge and lip smacking and rubbing their hands together! This is what rue interest looks like! Challenge is their interest subject. 

Maybe it's not what's challenging, but the challenge itself!

Form me I think that I am always able to:

• Find the humor- laugh at my silly mistakes.
• Create Approach and Innovate- I am willing to try different approaches when I am learning something new, imagine new possibilities, and use what I am learning to understand things happening around me. 
• and, Respond with Wonderment and Awe- I am okay being curious and seeing beauty and simplicity around me, including me learning! I enjoy the "AH! Yes!" moment.

Transcendence:I think this speaks a lot to the previous question. I see myself as light hearted and simple in the sense that I enjoy the little things; simple beauty, humor, silliness. And, I think optimism is one of the best tools we can have in our tool box and be aware of.
