Your mindset around character:

Your mindset likely varies at different times and in different contexts. For example, you may hold a growth mindset regarding your ability to learn a new language (“I could do that if I had the time and practiced it”) while also having a fixed mindset about another topic (“I’ll never understand chemistry no matter how hard I try”).

You can also be nudged toward a fixed mindset or growth mindset based on how other people give you feedback. “You’re a natural” or “You suck at this” tend people toward fixed mindsets, while “Your hard work is paying off” or “You’re going to need more practice but you’ll get it eventually” suggest that effort makes a difference - a growth mindset.

One important thing to know is that research supports having a growth mindset about your mindset! You have the power to change how you approach different tasks, challenges, and goals.
