"Our greatest fear should not be failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn't really matter." D.L. Moody "Many of life's failures are people who did no realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Thomas A. Edison As we reach the home stretch of this semester, it's important to remember why we started, and what we're working toward in the long run.

" Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out" Success is really all about determination and perseverance.  It may be difficult at times so breaking a large goal into smaller more realistic goals, it keeps one on track to accomplishing the larger goals by continually making progress.

This week I chose Growth Mindset challenge 3. One post that stood out to me, said: "If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done" I've always believed that in order to grow you have to step out of your comfort zone in order to learn something new.  This was a reminder of that.  Another posts talked about just taking advantage of any opportunity that comes along to test yourself and potentially find new interests or ideas.

9)  The biggest aspect outside of school where I apply growth Mindset concepts is at work. Without continually going outside of my comfort zone to learn new things, I would become stagnant which isn’t not something I want to do. Without continuing to further my own knowledge, I would not be able to teach others anything new. Having a plan and executing it to the best of my abilities helps me stay focused on what I’m trying to accomplish and why.
