384: How to develop a growth mindset

I thought I had a learning disability.⠀ ⠀ When I was 24, I couldn't even read a book for more than 2 minutes. I used to look at my friends and wonder how they were able to keep good jobs or even buy a car.⠀ It felt awful because I wanted to do much more, but my mind couldn't.⠀ ⠀ Then one day, I learned about the concept of growth mindset, and it all made sense. I never had the chance to get good at something. I always gave up before I could get better.⠀ That's when I started reading and writing every day. It was so hard!!! But I didn't care because I was not doing it to succeed in that exact moment. I was doing it for my future self.⠀ ⠀ The crazy thing about a growth mindset is that you can't prove it exists until you are deep in it. So you just gotta trust the process at the beginning. It's kinda like going to the gym for the first time. ⠀ ⠀ If you can stick to your new mindset for a few months, you will fall in love with it.⠀ Life is a very long game, so you might as well play it and get good at it.
