33 Quotes For Growth Mindset That Inspire You To Work Harder

Have you ever faced a difficult task that seemed impossible to get done?

Think about some particular case right now.

Did you persevere and finish it, even if not from the first attempt? Or did you simply decide that it’s above your abilities and gave up?

Whichever was your decision, it’s 100% based on your mindset.

People with a growth mindset understand that they can learn and improve with time and effort, so they get better and achieve things. They know that if they work hard enough, they will get wherever they want to get and become the version of themselves they want to become.

On the other hand, people with a fixed mindset don’t even try. They are full of limiting beliefs and don’t expect anything special from themselves. They never really achieve anything and they call all the successful people ‘lucky’.

I’m sure you don’t wanna be that person!
