“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”Henry Stanley Haskins.

Hello friends! Positive thinking can change and save your life!



We live in a crazy world where nothing is what it seems. Our values and happiness depend on the exterior world, forgetting all about what matters the most: our interior universe. We seek fulfillment from outside sources, always searching for the next moment to make us happy, without acknowledging the fact that happiness is already there, inside of each one of us just waiting to be discovered.

Our negative state of mind had enslaved us. We live believing that we are our negative self, our negative story, we are living from a place of scarcity and problems… we are living in pain! And all of this because, well, this is the only way we know how to live…

Every so often a truly groundbreaking idea comes along. This is one of those – Mindset!

Mindset- what is it ?

Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck after decades of research on achievement and success. A simple idea that makes all the difference.

In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notations held by one or more people or groups of people that is so established that it creates a powerful incentive world within these people or groups and make them to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools. A world inside a world. It is up to you to decide if that is yours because you create it.

A mindset, according to Dweck, is a self-perception or “self-theory” that people hold about themselves. Believing that you are either “intelligent” or “unintelligent” is a simple example of a mindset. People may also have a mindset related to their personal or professional lives—“I’m a good teacher” or “I’m a bad parent,” for example. People can be aware or unaware of their mindsets, according to Dweck, but they can have profound effect on learning achievement, skill acquisition, personal relationships, professional success, and many other dimensions of life.

Dictionary Definition.

Mindset is a collection of beliefs and thoughts; let’s see what the dictionaries are saying :

“Mind-sets are those collection of beliefs and thoughts that make up the mental attitude, inclination, habit or disposition that predetermines a person’s interpretations and responses to events, circumstances and situations.”

A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses and interpretations of situations. (The Free Dictionary)

A person’s way of thinking and their opinions. (Cambridge Dictionary).

An attitude, disposition, or mood. (Dictionary.com).

The ideas and attitudes with which a person approaches a situation, especially when these are seen as being difficult to alter. (World English Dictionary.)

The established set of attitudes held by someone. (Oxford Dictionary).

So as we can see it’s about our own mental construction about the world, so in the end if this construction is a bad one, full of crappy conceptions and sad stories, what about your life situation? Well, same thing! Your mind construction is your life. And You made it this way. You are that sad person because you really believe that you are only your mental accumulation…you are so much more than that!

Growth Mindset vs. Fixed-Mindset

Dweck’s educational work focuses on the distinction between “fixed” and “growth” mindsets. According to Dweck, “In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort and a right mental attitude.”

Dweck’s research suggests that students who have adopted a fixed mindset—the belief that they are either “smart” or “dumb” and there is no way to change this, for example—may learn less than they could or learn at a slower rate, while also shying away from challenges (since poor performance might either confirm they can’t learn, if they believe they are “dumb,” or indicate that they are less intelligent than they think, if they believe they are “smart”)

“In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment,” writes Dweck. Students who embrace growth mindsets have the belief that they can learn more or become more, if they work hard, persevere and have a healthy way of coping with the world. A good mindset is a good life.In the end it’s all about your beliefs. You know that Your life is what you believe it to be, and Your beliefs shape your attitude. Your attitude also shapes your beliefs – You beliefs shape your mindset. Your mindset defines your life.

Final Word You don’t become what you want, you become what you believe. Remember you are more than your inner sad and negative voice. Observe your own voice that one that sabotages you, and decide to be more than that, taking action and silence your mental noise.
