Mindful Hack #102

You know the expression “nothing good comes easy”?

It sounds a little negative, but it isn’t. The most successful people out there have had a TON of setbacks.

What makes them great is that they persevered. They didn’t quit. They looked at all their “failures” as simply finding ways that don’t work, getting them that much closer to the ways that do.

It’s all about mindset. When we’re stuck in a fixed mindset, playing victim to negative thought-patterns like, “this will never work. Why do I bother?” we’re really just setting ourselves up for more failure.

But we don’t have to be stuck there. We know the brain is plastic and the mind is malleable, so we can train ourselves to shift into a growth mindset.

And we can do that by simply adding the word “yet.”

“This isn’t working YET.”

Amazing what a difference three little letters can make!

Mindfully yours,
