Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset

According to Carol Dweck, professor of psychology and author, people with a Fixed Mindset believe that their talents are fixed and given and that they cannot be changed. The fixed mindset can also be translated as static mindset.

People with a growth mindset, on the other hand, are sure that they can develop and improve in any area. A growth mindset can therefore be understood as a dynamic mindset that welcomes constant growth. You can clearly see the different self-images of the two groups. Through these two concepts, we can see how motivated people are and how they learn.

Below you will find some affirmations or thoughts of a person with a Growth or a Fixed Mindset.

Growth Mindset: People with the attitude tackle challenges and draw positive lessons from both failure and success.

  • I can learn anything I want.
  • When I get frustrated, I hang in there.
  • I want to challenge myself.
  • When I fail, I learn.
  • I like to work hard for success.
  • If you succeed, I'm inspired.
  • My effort and attitude determine everything.

Fixed Mindset: It ensures that we Fear from challenges or failure.

  • I'm either good at it, or I'm not.
  • When I get frustrated, I give up.
  • I don't like to be challenged.
  • If I fail, I am not good.
  • Effort means I am untalented.
  • If you make it, I feel attacked.
  • My talents determine everything.

What does mentality have to do with mindset?

What does mentality have to do with mindset? The term mentality, just like mindset, describes a mental attitude. Surely you know statements like: "He has a temperamental mentality". Or: "Wow. I have rarely seen such a respectful mentality in a human being."

Basically, the mentality of a person results from a mindset that persists over a longer period of time. For example, if you constantly carry negative thoughts around with you, then you will also radiate them. Your environment will perceive this negative energy and react to you accordingly.

For this reason, it is especially important that you embed positive beliefs in your consciousness to create a positive mindset that will eventually contribute to a positive mentality.

To help you do that, we've prepared twelve beliefs below to help you develop a positive mindset and therefore a positive mentality.
