Day 19 - Recognizing a growth mindset in others

 Opposite of yesterdays post today we are talking about recognizing growth mindset. My dad has always been someone to display a growth mindset, although he may not even know what it is he is able to implement it into his everyday challenges. Whenever he feels frustrated at something or does something wrong rather than quickly placing blame or quitting he adjusts his mentality to either think outside the box or just tell himself "you got this". Living with someone who demonstrates this mentality lets me see it on almost a constant basis which is helpful towards seeing a growth mindset in myself.

Day 11 - Life with a growth mindset

 Adapting a growth mindset is like having a key to unlock any opportunity. Growth mindset is a perspective that transforms life into a fulfilling journey. Embracing challenges becomes a strategic approach to problem-solving, learning evolves into a continuous pursuit of knowledge, and mistakes serve as valuable lessons in refinement. Adapting a growth mindset in my life would improve not only my attitude towards failures but my ability to learn from them. With a growth mindset rather than giving up when I fall off the wall I can use the knowledge from why I fell to improve the next attempt. Failing = success is only good if you understand failure = learning, as you can't succeed from failure if you don't choose to learn why you failed. In summary, adopting a growth mindset is almost like a compass that guides us through the dynamic landscape of life, turning challenges into opportunities and learning into a lifelong adventure.

Day 15 - Ideal relationships

 I've been thinking about what exactly makes a relationship ideal, whether it's romantic or business. We often picture it as this smooth, no-disagreement scenario, but that seems a bit too perfect, you know? Embracing a growth mindset in relationships is like realizing it's okay to have differences, it's not about avoiding them but navigating through together. The perfect relationship might not be the one without any bumps, it's the one where you both grow through the disagreements. It's like acknowledging, "We see things differently, let's figure this out and learn from it.". Today's reflection is making me value the real, imperfect, and authentic side of relationships a bit more. It's like understanding that growth isn't just a solo journey, it's something you do together, even when things aren't picture-perfect.

Day 20 - "What if" Game pt.2

 I really enjoyed responding to this question on day 6 so thought I'd answer it again. Obviously my answer is gonna be based on climbing again but this time a little different. I've always wanted to travel the world and see what kind of climbing is offered around the globe. Given unlimited resources and support I would pack all my things, buy a van and travel. I'd start with northern Canada as I've always wanted to see BC, and travel to new places when I feel like it. Life moves so fast in this modernized world so being able to disconnect and go see the beauty the world has to offer and obviously climbing is exactly what I would do.
