Week 8 Growth Mindset
One of my main weaknesses in life is not living up to my potential. In life many things have been easy for me and I haven't had to try very hard to be successful. As I grow older I find that more and more ofter this is not the case. The things that I once thought i was the best at or even good at for that sake have grow few and farther between. I find that the more I work towards something the better the outcome will be usually. This presents a challenge to me to change my mindset. I have struggled to change from a laissez faire mindset to one with more of a growth mentality. One quote that really sticks out to me is "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best." -Tim Duncan. This quote speaks to the person that Tim was to always have the mentality to get better at his craft. Tim was is the NBA for twenty years and was considered one of the best to ever put on a jersey long before he considered retirement, yet he still went after every practice with the mindset to get better. I strive to live my life in the same way. I try to get up everyday and get better at what I am doing while maintaining a growth mindset. I need to bring that mindset into this course in the second half in order to grow myself as a person even thought this may not be the most interesting material for me. I can use the rest of this class to attempt to improve on my writing abilities.

I completely understand you. I have always felt that I lacked the motivation and determination to truly push myself to my full potential. Feeling like you could do better is quite disappointing. Even though you try hard to fix it, it doesn’t always work out. I really like that quote. I hope you will be successful in living to your fullest potential.
