Hey guys!! Perhaps you've heard of a growth vs fixed mindset, but I wanted to dig more into how this impacted my academic career and wider life. There's so much power in believing your knowledge is constantly evolving, as opposed to fixed. Is anyone "naturally" amazing at anything? Even though we have different aptitudes and motivations, I believe that with enough effort, everyone is capable of anything 🌟enjoy!!

I used to have a growth mindset back in grade 9. Back then I didn't have a reputation for being particularly good at anything but I was eager to improve. Then as time went on I developed a reputation for being the "smart kid" which made me fear failure. I even reached a point where I would rather quit than try at all. Now that I am starting university I really want to develop a growth mindset once more.

[@liisahersoniemi9257]

sometimes it’s just so hard to remember that you can actually grow from your mistakes and a lower grade doesn’t mean you’re stupid. I think that is partly the school systems fault. For instance, if you’re a straight A student and then struggle in a certain subject, teachers are suddenly becoming worried about you like there’s something wrong about failure. At the same time, school tries to encourage students to make mistakes but the main idea is still to get good grades or otherwise you’re not going anywhere in life. I just wanted to say thank you. You completely changed my mindset and now I will stop saying that I’m just bad at something because I’m still growing and will get there! 🥰

Yess Jade, I have struggled with a fixed mindset a lot, until I realized that I need to change my perspective and attitude. I am so happy that I got the chance to apply the growth mindset into my life in a very special way. I always had a dream of playing the piano, but I have convinced myself that" I won't be able to do it". I looked at all of the amazing piano players and compered myself to them, totally ignoring the fact that they have practiced a looot until they got where they are now, and that I have never even started yet.. Last year I have made a decision to start. I made my dream come true and allowed myself to try, and grow. It was not easy, but after practicing and learning and trying- I suddenly realized than I CAN do this, it was all in my head. The minute I decided to put effort and actually try, rather than just saying to myself that I am not good at playing- I realized it is possible. Thank you Jade, you are the best. Every time I watch your videos I get so inspired and motivated! By the way, sorry if I have any mistakes, Lot's of love from Israel!🇮🇱✨

I saw this video at such a great time. I've been struggling a lot with my mindset towards music, creating, singing and playing the piano, and I now realize the underlying problem is that I put so much pressure on being perfect, that I miss the opportunities to grow. I don't have the courage to put myself out there, and when I do I criticize every thing I do "wrong", instead of learning and growing from it. I've really been suffocating by passion by making myself believe that I am not good enough, and that I have to be the best to do it.

I’m in 2nd year of medical school, I’ve always thought that I wasn’t good at memorizing long paragraphs and that I only have a short term memory which will not allow me to do well academically and it has been frankly stressing me out therefore affecting my abilities to learn and work hard. I literally started thinking about back up plans for when I suddenly drop out and do something else I’m good at, give up my dream simply because it isn’t for me. One thing that’s been helping me tho is thinking about how many other people must’ve felt the same but never gave up. We all have a brain, some of us know how to use it efficiently, and I don’t YET. It’s such a pity that we like to limit our abilities and feel so intimidated by failures. Thank you Jade for this video ❤️

So simple, but important words. The problem is, even if I know how this unhelpful fixed mindset is damaging life, it has stuck with me, ‘cuz it’s so hard to reject criticizing yourself if you’ve been doing it for all of your life. I have pretty toxic relationship with maths, as I’ve been growing this “I’m not a maths person” mindset since middle school. Now I have to pass maths for uni and every attempt to solve any problem feels like a torture. I know that I should be kind with myself and let myself grow from mistakes, but brain sees it and like “oh here u are, doing every possible mistake, how did you come to an idea that you can pass it??” WHYY this “growing” concept is not to be taught in school???? It’s way more important than any subject, it can change lives✨ Thank you.

[@Voldycat]

Just wanna quickly pick up on a statement made right at the start of the video where you said 'im just naturally not good at maths' and I just wanna put it out there that some people actually naturally aren't good at maths. I have dyscalculia and my brain just cannot do numbers, yes I can improve but I will always struggle with that, no amount of learning or growth mindset will change that. Fully support everything else in this video and the general message behind it but I also want to recognise that some people struggle and that's not their fault and it's completely valid and there isn't a way to 'fix it' nor should they really be trying to.

[@UnJadedJade]

Thank you so much for adding this necessary perspective!! ❤️ growth mindset is about believing in and challenging yourself, but recognising that this looks different for everyone is so important.

[@Voldycat]

@@UnJadedJade Completely agree! You can learn to be better but recognising your own limitations is super important. Sometimes when you can't change a situation it's necessary to improve on what you can and accept what you can't, otherwise, you'll spend your whole life chasing something you can never achieve.

[@JazzminelLocher]

Thank you so much for this encouraging video. i constantly feel like I will never excel in certain areas that I struggle with because I have a fixed mindset. It really takes just a mental change and your whole outlook on life shifts. All throughout high school I struggled with math and I had this mindset that said, "I'll never be good enough." I was always getting bad scores and my friends excelled in that area and my thing was music. I was so nervous to share my math scores with people afraid of their criticism. Now that I am graduated and I am going into community college, I don't want to have this mindset anymore. I want to take the courses I am doing with an open mindset. I don't want to think that they define who I am but I need to be more open minded to the challenges I face. if i fail, I look at it as a success because I learn something from the experience.

[@rondoflicflac]

Literally everything u said resonated with me. I also had the reputation of being "the academic girl" and what I hated the most was that everyone seemed to believe that I was obsessed with getting perfect grades all the time, when in reality I was just trying to do my best cause I cared about learning. But the pressure and the "don't fail or you'll be seen as stupid" thing happened anyway.... and still happens. On the other hand, I loved the concept of the growing mindset. A couple of months ago I joined a basketball team because it's a sport that I like and I wanted to exercise more. I'm still attending, but it takes me a lot of mental energy. Most of the girls have been playing for years, and I sometimes feel like a burden. But on the flipside, I enjoy most of the trainings. If I think it rationally, I can see that I've progressed a lot these months, taking into account that I had never played before. But the "not good enough me" is always there, wondering why the hell I thought joining a team where I was the only beginner was a good idea. Anyway, sorry for this long comment 😂 but I wanted to thank you, Jade! The world needs more people like you💛 love from Argentina!

It's not about skills, but about the right mindset. I love Maths, Statistics, Python, R, and so on, and I have so much fun with my studies that I regret not studying them sooner! Thanks for the video. It is really inspiring and I can relate. It made me think a lot! The casual magic of the day: this video! Hugs from Poland even though I'm Spanish (Galicia)!

GROWTH MINDSET: A passion for learning,rather than hunger for approval,nicely put🙌

[@laurengrant677]

The area I need to work on is being myself and forgiving myself. During the pandemic I quit A-levels (people please don't come for me) to pursue my passion for horses. I am now on an equine course that I love but am a lot less academic and have fallen into old negative mindsets about motivation and learning. I am also recovering from 16 years of domestic abuse and struggling to live as my own person rather than my sister's protector or the person my parents want me to be. I am constantly giving in to other people's wishes rather than figuring out what I want and who I want to be. So I am going to work on being the person I want to be. I am not the person I want to be...yet. PS. Jade why on earth did I stop watching your videos? (I think I felt like I let you down for leaving A-levels but screw that because your content inspires me so much and applies universally across my life) You honestly are the big sister I never had and I love you so much

[@yvyvyvybyvyvyv345]

Thank you Jade. I actually feel motivated and also feel a lot of positive energy around now. You just gave me a message for life.

[@avadavies240]

I have battled with the subject maths for as long as I have attended mainstream education (aka since, like, the age of 4). Sometimes it’s left me in tears, feeling so helpless. Your video has really inspired me. I’m in Year 10 right now, so you’ve spurred me on to going downstairs and tackling my problems head on. Love your content xx

[@IsabellaBoyne]

This video genuinely made me tear up because I relate so much to the attitude that you were describing, especially at school, feeling like grades were equivalent to intelligence and therefore equivalent to self worth. I hope that I can continue to learn and grow and really appreciate all of your optimism and positivity!

[@vagishaaggarwal6677]

Jade's videos are ones which we don't realise we need but we do!!!

[@lauravilbiks]

It is crazy how much passion to learn your videos give me! Every time I see you talking about these mindset changes I get the sudden urge to read materials for my thesis, which I have been avoiding day by day. Thanks for being this positive and encouraging voice in my head.

[@PhoebeJones]

Thankyou Jade for remaining positive even in trying times

[@senanursezgin9165]

I was always telling myelf that I just cant do physics so I will never choose engineering and stuff but lately I've been studying more than I ve ever studied before and here is my conclusion the more time you spend on it the more it gets easier and learnable. It is just a mind bareer that you created on ur own and you must be the person who breaking that as well. I am a nerdy person in school like you and all you said was just... hits me Jade I really appreciate you bring that up

[@smitagrangerk4846]

Well.....I was suffering from fixed mindset for so long. In short...I believed myself to be very intelligent..and I stopped trying and learning..it hit me real hard in college..and I became insecure of the slightest things...and go on a spiral of thoughts, without admitting the fact that I was wrong. Now I'm trying and coming in terms with the fact that I'm not intelligent enough. I'm trying and adapting growth mindset. My advice for all is..it is hard..will be hard..but u r strong enough to overcome it.

[@wls1668]

hey jade, Every time I feel stuck and frustrated at my progress in school or just in life, I always come back to this video and to your channel to remind myself to grow, even if its at my own pace :) I am so grateful for your channel, thank you for spreading your positivity :D

[@yasminec2144]

Jade you always make a video on what i need to hear! I recently stopped telling myself how bad and i am maths, how maths is only for “some people” and good god! Core papers were an anxiety fest for me, and now i did an extended paper! With the questions I didn’t get, i just thought “great!Ill work on that and I’m so proud of how I’m improving right now” You can change anything.

[@duaa7576]

Perfect timing. I was just beating myself up for not getting maths and working at a slower pace than everyone else in my class. Thank you so much for sharing this, made me realise how self-destructive my behaviour was.

[@fahimahadam7026]

I relate to this video so much! I have always been a perfectionist in high school, i always wanted to get the best grades but going into uni, i saw that all this had to change! Thanks for this video❤️❤️

[@reyhaneh1792]

Jade, your the KZbinr that always makes me motivated to study, whenever I’m not motivated i always watch you, your the best!! ILYYY Jade! 😘

[@sashasscorner]

I have always been "not good at math" at the last exam I did I got a 65... I was devastated bc my brother it's this brainy guy really good at maths so I always compare myself to him! But thank you Jade for this

[@horanghae_4evR]

I also used to compare my intelligence and self worth with grades and I just didn't realise at the time that advance concepts in any subject will obviously take time for me to understand and learn and all of this landed me in a very bad state of mind where I couldn't even do the questions I knew with confidence. I am trying to change it every single day and it does make me feel a little less isolated to know that a lot of students struggle with this ( even the nerdy ones🙃) . Thank you for this video. Keep growing 💚

[@squareBaguette]

What if genuine efforts are continuously met with failures and reaffirming to themselves that they are just not there YET starts to feel like self delusion? Isn't acknowledgement of one's own strengths and weaknesses just as important?

[@sanaabbasi1272]

I agree

[@Surfing566]

Surely you can make your weaknesses your strengths

[@yesi07]

I agree with this, but I would also wonder what changes in approaches were made in these efforts. What needed to be done that that person wasn’t doing? Perhaps some changes could be made to actually see the improvement. I suppose your question also begs the question “when should one accept defeat?”. Ideally, never. Realistically, whenever one has accepted that they gave their best but the return does not outweigh the emotional or financial burden to continue going. Perhaps their efforts would see better improvement at a faster rate at something they’re already decent at to begin with.

[@davinky1229]

If your continuous efforts are always met with failures then don’t you agree that you should find a different approach?

[@sahraaalaei7621]

hi jade! I have also struggled with this fixed mindset. In highschool I felt empowered by some false presedent of me being inherently smart and ready to succeed in just about every academic situation. In university the fixed mindset holds me back as I'm introduced to new and far more challenging coursework. It also makes learning way less enjoyable- if you are thinking about how silly you look you cannot focus on the content you are learning. It's hard, but I've been working to change my mindset and I've seen some growth this semester :) Thanks for this video, it's nice to know others also struggle and learn to move forward from a fixed mindset. 🌈🎉🍊

[@Plantje1999]

Right know I am struggling with eating.. I have an eatingdisorder and I am just struggling with eating 'normal' again. I am not there YET! Thankyou for this video! Could use some positive vibes from as always! Sending love! Stay safe❤

[@yuanninglee4010]

this felt like a warm hug from a supportive friend uwu

[@007Coolgal]

OMG!! I so connected to this video..I had always done well in school and feared looking or sounding dumb. That's why I think I deprived myself of so many opportunities thinking if I am not great at it, I should not do it. But I feel I have evolved now, I'm not v hard on myself and try to enjoy the learning process :))

[@NaekMejia]

So good you are talking about this Jade! Totally recommend her book "Mindset: Changing the way you think to fulfill your potential" which was updated in 2017 to include more studies and so on.💛

[@andi01452]

I wish this video existed back when I went to secondary school or high school. I was mediocre in every subject (Only got a few Ds, mostly Cs and very few Bs) during those years but I absolutely had a fixed mindset at that time. Maths and sometimes natural sciences were the worst subjects ever. For every grade I got I hated constructive criticism so I never read comments from my teachers and thought that I could never be extremely good at the subject. Already there I hindered myself from even reaching what I truly wanted and grow from it. I didn't believe in myself and thought I could never be as good as the people in my school who got Bs and As. I've always loved learning but I think the stress about grades really ruined it for me. Happily, when I improved and re-did 4 of my high school subjects earlier this year in a private school I became so motivated to learn bc of my teachers and got into a growth mindset. I managed to get two Bs and three As on the exams, improving from C to B/A in the subjects. Now I'm at uni and it's much more difficult indeed but I'm having fun and I learn a lot!! Thank you Jade, for reminding me to continue going on with a growth mindset

[@marlieshogeveen]

I really like the video Jade, and it definitely boosted my confidence in terms of trying new ✨scary✨ things! In the Netherlands we have a term called ‘denken in hokjes’, which basically means placing people in fixed boxes with certain static (so not really nuanced) characteristics (like being introvert or being a sporty person). While people are actually more than just simple words attached to them. They don’t fit into the same boxes, because everyone is unique. People can be surprising, people can reach things they never thought they could do. And this is all by trying and believing that you can be everything. Try and believe you can do it, and you’re halfway there🔆

[@Lola-ex1dt]

This gives me so much hope, I have my leaving certificate (Irish equivalent to the A-levels) in six months. I’m aiming for extremely high grades and hopefully get into medicine and I used to not have faith in myself but this has made me realise that I can achieve my goals, just with a change of mindset!
