And that’s a key point actually: to keep a growth mindset at all times. Each challenge that comes your way is a chance to get stronger, smarter and better. By dealing with these hardships, your life has greater purpose (life is meaningless when it is easy) and you become better equipped to take on similar challenges in future.
A Warriors Growth Mindset
So, the next time you find yourself in debt, instead of letting it defeat you, instead see it as a challenge. How can you earn the money you need to get out of it? How can you become better?
Don’t wallow in stress or anxiety – that helps no one. See it as a chance to grow and to prevent this happening again and take the necessary steps. Don’t worry about how it looks to others, don’t blame yourself for letting yourself get into that situation before.
Just take action. And learn from it. You were not good enough before but now you are going to be better.
In fact, growth and challenge are things that the brain is actually wired for. We thrive when we are challenged mentally and physically and this results in the production of hormones like dopamine, brain derived neurotrophic factor and more that keep us focused and that help protect our brains into old age.
Not only should you welcome the challenges that come, but you should also seek them out. During ‘times of peace’, you should prepare for battle by learning (reading books, adopting new skills) and by training your body.
