97: Growth Mindset (actually good)
"Maybe you've quietly resigned yourself to a situation because you unconsciously don't believe it's possible or worth it to try something different. Maybe you've been assuming that living your best life was supposed to feel less like hard work, and so you've given up on your dreams prematurely.
... With a growth mindset, failure never defines you. Your experience is always in process. A mistake is simply something you do. It's not a judgment against your character. You can hold onto it in shame, or you can learn your lesson and move on to what's really important: becoming what you really want to become."
