TWO IDEAS 💡
💡 1) The research showed us that those children, who are being praised for their intelligence, identify themselves with this intelligence. For them intelligence becomes a fixed structure that they were born with and not able to influence. When making a mistake it meant a personal failure and caused by moving outside of boundaries. To succeed they felt that they had to move back in within the boundaries. This idea is a set idea and leaves us slaves to our own body and mind.
💡 2) The other children developed an idea that intelligence is something you acquire through effort and consistency. They didn’t identify themselves with their intelligence, as it wasn’t a static nor a permanent thing. That meant that when they made mistakes, they didn’t see that as defining their capabilities or who they are, but rather evoked curiosity and interest in them to learn more and expand their knowledge.
Now take a look at your notes from the question: how do you understand intelligence? Is it something that we are born with? Or is it something that we can acquire? Reflecting on them with the informations you just acquired, are your understanding of intelligence holding you back? What would happened if you began to celebrate the energy and effort you, your children or employees put into the work? Could you perhaps expand even more, learn more, grow more and reach more?
NOW before we part ways for the time be, I promised you to give you a practical tool to put this knowledge into practice. When we are travelling somewhere new, we need a map. Most of us use maps on our phones, but perhaps some of us still prefers the old school paper maps, either way to find out where we are going, we need to know where we are:
1) Where are you right now in your life? What emotions, states of minds, thoughts and experiences to you sit with?
2) And to find our path and the route, we need to know where we are going, otherwise we can wonder aimlessly around for lifetimes, which isn’t very productive. SO right now, get yourself a piece of paper, or get notes up on your computer and begin to write the things down that you would like to achieve in your life, things that you would like to do, places you would like to see, amount of money you would like to earn, things you would like to provide the world with. Go crazy, think LIMITLESS, anything what would make you feel successful? Write a list with 50 goals on their, big as small.
3) Now with that list in front of you with the 50 goals. We will begin to add numbers to them. The numbers represent years. Use the numbers 1, 3, 5, 10. Each stand for number for number of years you need to achieve that goal. Put these numbers on your goals according to you giving yourself 1, 3, 5, or 10 years to reach these goals. You can use 1 three times to begin with. Stick this list up on your wall or above your bed, so its the first thing you see EVERY DAY! To keep you on track. Every time you reach a goal you CELEBRATE your effort and the energy you put into reaching that goal. If it is a family goal or a group goal, then celebrate together. Once you’ve reach a goal, you can bump another goal higher in your ranking list, and add a new one. GOALS keeps us moving and when we move we learn, and when we learn we expand. That is life! Sometimes your goals might change, and that’s great, let them, you are, we are all, constantly changing and growing. Allow that to happen.
4) There might we things you never learn, but is that because you can’t or because you prioritise differently? Perhaps your core values take you somewhere, and others somewhere else. REMEMBER you are not here alone, we are here together, that means you can shift the question from HOW DO I DO THIS to WHO CAN DO THIS or TEACH ME THIS. Look for the “who’s” in your life. Because when we use each other, we get much further and reach much higher. I do not expect you to do everything yourself, in a matter of fact, I would be a bit bumped if you did everything yourself, because why would you need anybody else in your life then? REMEMBER YOU ARE BORN LIMITLESS AND YOU ARE FREE and you are have the power TO GROW and EXPAND INTO YOUR DESIRED DIRECTIONS! And the things that doesn’t make your fire ignite, you have an opportunity to work with those who do get ignited by that!
