As I pondered the idea of growth mindset, I wondered what questions I should ask myself. That is when I found this infographic by Marc Chernoff from MarcAndAngel.com. While these questions focus on reflecting on our work at the end of the week, you can ask these questions every time you encounter a failure or setback. By reflecting and being cognizant about failure, we can identify which strength can be leveraged the next day or next week to improve our deficit area.

Is your Mind Fixed on Growth?
Do you have a growth mindset? Learning is about growing through failure not success. To synthesize this question at a deeper level, I challenge each one of you to read Bill Ferriter's blog (CLICK HERE) and watch the video at the end. I rarely say that something is unbelievably amazing, but this concise post (which was unbelievably amazing) fixed my mind on what is most important. It is the growth not the result that determines if we are learning. If we can condition ourselves first to become fixated on the progress we are making in our craft as opposed to obsessing about meeting a specific level of mastery, then I am confident that we will be more successful at conditioning our kids to develop the same growth mindset..
