Growth Mindset Ideas
The Stories You Tell Yourself Come True.
Earlier in my childhood, I used to tell a story that had more of 'them'. Only to realize later its only me. Its ALWAYS me.
From creating opportunities to creating paths to those opportunities its all me. Yes, there would be others, but they are playing their part in my story.
Here are few highlights from my story, hopefully it helps you in someway to create and share part of your story.
Giving up is NOT a choice.
If things are not working with one way, find another. There are different paths to achieving goals.
Family First.
First things first. Take care of people who means the world to you, build a strong base of support system. Everything else will fall in place.
Set Audacious Goals.
Go after that job, promotion, or a business. Make more money. So you don't have to worry about it tomorrow. Save, invest, and never take eyes off your goals.
Everything is Better Tomorrow.
Having a bad day? bad conversation? lost money? or lost a job? Sleep it off. Most things get better by next day.
Its' your story, if not all, you are the one who is going to listen to it often. Make it worth listening. Make it inspiring, surprising. Make it a little scary too.

Life lessons that you can’t afford to ignore
A conversation over a weekend where someone said, "They are always doing something. That makes them feel productive." Leads to me writing other side of action bias.
Action bias is the tendency to favor action over inaction.
In situations where the right decision is unclear, our automatic response tends to take action, ignoring the potential benefits of inaction. Our survival mode pushes us to do something all the time. Hardwired thinking from hunter-gatherers era kicks when we face unclear situations. This incredible adaptive survival instinct may not suit now in today's modern world.
E.g. Investing
In our desire to control all and take action, many of us take buy/sell decisions when inaction could be more effective choice.
How to avoid this impulse?
When decision is unclear. Always weigh options of taking an action and inaction. This may push us making more informed decision.
Bias to take actions is one of the common traits of successful people. However, knowing when to take actions based on data and when to wait for more information is the key. Calling always doing something tendency as bias to actions is an illusion to progress and success.

How can you predict the future?
English is a weird language. I am a multilingual person, stayed in different parts of the world, cultures and find hard to keep up sometimes :)
Is Google making us stupid? Drowning in sea of information, anytime, anywhere
