25 Simple Ways To Develop A Growth Mindset

25 Simple Ways To Develop A Growth Mindset 1. Acknowledge and embrace imperfections. Hiding from your weaknesses means you’ll never overcome them. 2. View challenges as opportunities. Having a growth mindset means relishing opportunities for self-improvement. 3. Try different learning tactics. There’s no one-size-fits-all model for learning. What works for one person may not work for you. 4. Follow the research on brain plasticity. The brain isn’t fixed; the mind shouldn’t be either. 5. Replace the word “failing” with the word “learning.” When you make a mistake or fall short of a goal, you haven’t failed; you’ve learned. 6. Stop seeking approval. When you prioritize approval over learning, you sacrifice your own potential for growth. 7. Value the process over the end result. Intelligent people enjoy the learning process, and don’t mind when it continues beyond an expected time frame. 8. Cultivate a sense of purpose. Dweck’s research also showed ...

50 Inspiring Travel Quotes

1. “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller 2. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine 3. “There are no foreign lands.

But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac 7. “He who does not travel does not know the value of men.” – Moorish proverb 8. “People travel to faraway places to watch...

10 Things That Change Once You've Lived Overseas

The rewarding experiences one gains from living life overseas can sometimes be crowded out by the inevitable struggles that come with the full, expat-life package. But it’s through those struggles and challenges that you discover more about yourself and the world around you. You embrace lessons learned and broaden your horizons. If you’ve ever lived for an extended amount of time somewhere other than your home country, then you’ve probably experienced some if not all of these changes while living abroad. 1. You are constantly learning and unlearning language. I’m no expert on the brain, but I have a suspicious feeling that my brain regularly shuts the door on certain native-tongue-vocabulary words so that my search will lead me to the word I’m looking for in my newly acquired language. That’s all fine and dandy; that is, unless I was really hoping to find the word in my native language. It’s one thing to feel a little embarrassed when you don’t know the word for something in t...

If Jesus did not rise from the dead...

In 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, St. Paul is addressing those who doubted, or even taught, that there was no resurrection from the dead. He states as the foundation of his argument a fundamental of the Christian faith – the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. If we believe and teach that Jesus rose from the dead, how can we think that the resurrection of the dead is not possible. If there is no resurrection of the dead at the end of time, then we must believe that Jesus did not rise again. What if Jesus did not rise again on the third day? What then? What does that mean to us and our faith? First, all that we have taught and preached is vain. If Jesus did not rise again, the Gospel has no heart to it. It is emptied of good news and becomes nothing more than a funeral dirge. It becomes a teaching of death for we only tell the story of a good man who once lived, but died…the end. If Jesus is not risen, our preaching is emptied of its power. It is only the history of a man who ca...

Grace

The Bible tells us to "Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." In Max Lucado's new book, Grace Happens Here, he reminds us that Salvation is God's business. Grace is His idea, His work and His expense. God's Grace is more powerful than sin. Keep reading and let excerpts from Lucado's book and Scripture help you start receiving the freely given Grace of Almighty God today... Sometimes we get so caught up in our own works that we forget Romans 8, which says "nothing can separate us from the Love of God." You don't have to be perfect to receive God's Grace -- only willing. Lucado says, "To discover grace is to discover God's utter devotion to you, His stubborn resolve to give you a cleansing, healing, purging love that lifts the wounded back to their feet." Matthew 7:7 says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Al...

Acompaname a estar solo. Accompany me to be alone.

Accompany me to be alone To get rid of the ghosts To get in bed without touching Accompany me to the mystery Of being alone together To go to sleep without expecting anything to happen Accompany me to be alone Accompany me in silence Talking without words Knowing you're there next to me and I next to you Accompany me to the absurdity of embracing without touching You in your space and I in mine Like a guardian angel Accompany me to be alone Chorus Accompany me Saying without words What a blessing is to be together and to be unfaithful only with this solitude Accompany me Loving you without saying it Touching you without contact the reflection of your skin in the light To think of me so I can live for you Accompany me to be alone To get rid of the ghosts To get in bed without touching Accompany me to the mystery Of being alone together To go to sleep without expecting anything to happen Accompany me to...

Ode to Summer - Oda al Verano

Ode to summer Summer, red violin, clear cloud, the hum of a summer or cicadas announce your arrival. The heavens arch to a smoothness, lucent as an eye, and below your gaze, summer, you are an infinite sky-fish, shameless messenger of praise, lazy, sleepy-eyed one, little bee belly, mischievous sun, terrible paternal sun, sweaty as a toiling ox, and the scorchiing sun in one's head is like a sudden blow, sun of thirst crossing the sand, summer, desert sea. The sulfur miner drips yellow sweat, the aviator maps, ray by ray, the celestial sun, darkened sweat slips down a forehead into the eyes; at Lota, the miner scrubs ...

Don't give up. No te rindas.

Don't Give Up by Mario Benedetti Don't give up, you still have time to reach up and start anew, Accept your shadows, Bury your fears, Free your burdens, Fly again. Don't give up, that's what life is Continue the journey, Follow your dreams, Unstuck time, Move the rubble, And uncover the sky. Don't give up, please don't give way, Even if the cold burns, Even if fear bites, Even if the sun sets, And the wind goes silent, There is still fire in your soul There is still life in your dreams. Because life is yours and yours is the desire Because you have loved it and because I love you Because wine exists and love is true. Because there are no wounds that time doesn't cure. To open the doors, Take away the locks, Abandon the walls that have protected you, To live life and accept the challenge Get back laughter, Practice a song, Lower the guard and extend the hands Open the wings A...
