Neuroplasticity – The brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.
- Fixed Mindset: people more readily call it quits; avoid new ventures for fear of failure;
resist change; feedback or constructive criticism as a personal attack; others viewed as threats, especially if there’s a shared interest or more natural talent; failure is viewed as fatal.
- Growth Mindset: failure isn’t fatal—learning opportunity; more optimistic in face of challenges; success of others inspires you; feedback is an opportunity to grow; effort is the key.
Maturation is the expectation of every follower of Jesus.
- Hebrews 5:12-14
Romans 12:2
