This is a nice little reminder about the importance of having a growth mindset. It comes to us from Carol Dweck:
“I don’t get it.”
“I can’t do this.”
“This doesn’t work.”
Take a deep breath. Go for a short stroll. Then add ‘yet’ to the end of your sentence.
“I don’t get it….yet.”
“I can’t do this….yet.”
“This doesn’t work….yet.”
What a difference one little word makes. It moves us from impossibility to possibility, from giving up to trying again. “Yet” can be a very powerful word.
