Fixed Mindset - Genre Transformation

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.

 

Fixed mindset is a state of mind.

You can change your mind.

But are you willing to change your mind?

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.

 

What is a fixed mindset?

A fixed mind.

A mind incapable of opening or being opened.

A bad habit and way of thinking.

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.

 

How did you get a fixed mindset?

It was instilled into you as an infant.

Your parents created the fixed mindset on you.

Your teachers promoted it.

Your coaches drilled it in you.

Your lovers didn’t allow you to grow.

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.


You can change your mindset, you just have to believe in yourself.

I like the idea behind this Rebeca - a meeting of Larkin's 'They fuck you up, your mum and dad' and Bart Simpson writing on the school blackboard over and over:

I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.
I will not be stuck in a fixed mindset.

However, I'm not sure it needs the motivational last line. Personally I would have been tempted to repeat the first three 'I will not be...' lines. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Thanks for posting, it's certainly different.
