Neuroscience supports this belief. Consequently, those who embrace a growth mindset are confident in taking on new challenges. They view failures and criticisms as opportunities for learning, which enables them to achieve increasingly higher levels of success as their skills develop through these experiences.

When evaluating our achievements, it’s important to focus on the effort invested rather than just the outcomes. Each effort made towards a goal brings us one step closer to success.
