Watching this TED talk reminded me about the power of not yet — From now on, I'll practice telling myself "not yet" instead of "no". 🙌

Beautiful thoughts from this TED talk:
" I love a challenge!"How awesome to go through life and be excited about difficulty.
"Engage deeply with errors." Your brain is literally "lit" up when you're engaging something that's hard.
"'Yet' gives you a path into the future.
On developing a growth mindset:
- Praise process. Change the meaning of effort and difficulty.
Effort and difficulty = your neurons are making new connections, stronger connections and you are literally getting smarter.
- Create spaces filled with yet. Create a space for yourself that has yet in it.
- Even a thirteen year old can feel like he's wasted his whole life. :')

- A fixed mindset assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens.
- A growth mindset thrives on challenge and sees failure as a springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities.
Questions:
Are there times where I've wanted to prove myself? When?
Main Takeaways:
- Instead of overcoming deficiencies, overcome them
- Look for friends who challenge me to grow
- Seek experiences that will stretch me
- The growth mindset applies not only to education and intelligence, but also to sports, leadership and relationships
