Okay - Third Essential for a Growth Mindset

We've been looking at the 2, maybe 3, essentials for a Growth Mindset.

Without #1 - humility - we will have a hard time being willing to acknowledge there is something we need to focus on.

Without #2 - intentionality - we acknowledge the problem or the goal, but we haven't actually moved the needle. It's like when we say, "You know what I need to __________________ (lose some weight or insert other Aha moment here)" or "I guess I do have a problem with __________________ (anger, insecurity, addiction, or whatever)" or "If I don't start, I'll never ______________ write that book build that thing, find a spouse, get that degree."

You can't address something you can't name.

But perhaps, before it all, or maybe during it all, the greatest essential for a growth mindset is HOPE!

Without #3 - Hope - it's like trying to drive a car with no fuel. Hope fuels our preferred future. Hope helps us see what could be. Hope changes everything.

Without hope, humility is just a sad recognition of how far short we fall. Hope says we can grow and change. Hope brings courage to believe in transformation.

Without hope, intentionality is a shot in the dark. Hope gives us the strength to do hard things for the joy set before us. It makes the outcome worth the effort.

How's your hope meter?
