Becoming is Better than Being

Interesting tidbit from my current read, Carol Dweck’s Mindset:The New Psychology of Success.

“Becoming is better than being”.

We often say, trust the process but can we admit just how uncomfortable ‘trusting the process’ can feel?! (the uncertainty,doubt,fear,societal pressures etcetera).

While reading the above enlightening book, I have realized that I have for the longest time had a fixed mindset, one that has limited my desire for learning and growing. A mindset that makes me run from challenges and focus on what feels easy or comfortable.?

I wonder how many of us are or have been fixed mindsetters.

Dweck explores the fixed and growth mindsets and posits that we are not defined by our successes or failures, but rather by whether we are learners or non-learners. Allowing ourselves to learn and expand our capabilities over time enables us to become the best versions of ourselves.

While you are not the person you desire to be right now, you are slowly becoming it. Trust the process!!
