Moving forward requires one to have an open mind about where they are going and what they are doing. How else to handle unexpected opportunities and possibilities? A fixed mind limits your options because you tune out all that is foreign or uncomfortable.
This quote puts this idea into perspective:
“To fully appreciate the growth mindset, it helps to contrast it with its all-too-familiar twin, the fixed mindset. Consciously or unconsciously, people with a fixed mindset have the deep-seated belief that everyone is born with only a certain amount of intelligence and a certain amount of talent. If invited on a journey to creative confidence, people with a fixed mindset will prefer to stay behind in their comfort zone, afraid that the limits of their capabilities will be revealed to others.”
