All children see the world in a different dimension. Their mindset
affects how they filter and perceive the experiences that they have.
Some kids/teens have a mindset that allows them to consistently
perceive their experiences in a positive and empowering way.
For example, if they make a mistake in class, they perceive it as a
valuable lesson that can allow them to improve. If they get a very
tough assignment, they see it as a way to get them better prepared
for a tough examination.
However, some people tend to have a mindset that constantly cause
them to perceive and respond to experiences in a very negative and
dis-empowering manner. When these students make a mistake, they
perceive themselves as being really 'stupid' or 'dumb' or as a
'major embarrassment.'
Many people think that events that happen to a person directly
affect his outcome or result. Th is is why some kids often say,
"having a boring teacher caused me to do badly in my exams,"
"my unsupportive parents have made me a failure" or "because I was
born poor, I never had the opportunities others had to succeed."
In actual fact, it is not the event that affects a person's outcome.
It is how they CHOOSE to respond to the event that aff ects their
outcome. For example, if a child is born into a poor family and he
chooses to respond to it by thinking, "this means that I have less
opportunities to succeed" or "I am so unlucky," chances are he will
feel demoralized and decide to lead life in a half-hearted manner.
The outcome would of course be negative.
However, if the child has an empowering mindset and responds by
saying, "Being born in a poor family means that I must work harder
than other people to succeed' and "I have nothing to lose," he will
have the hunger to do his best and increase his chance to become
successful!
