Speaker 1: Yo, what's up, fam Zaiden Cruz. Here your weekly dose
Speaker 1: of real talk about surviving this crazy gen Z world.
Speaker 1: This week, we're diving deep into goal setting, but not
Speaker 1: that basic write down ten things you want achieve kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. Nah, we're getting real about those mindsets you
Speaker 1: feel me because the truth is most of us are
Speaker 1: stuck in this loop of setting goals we can't even reach,
Speaker 1: then spiraling into self doubt and disappointment, like ever felt
Speaker 1: that crushing weight of I should be further along by now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been there too, trust me. It's a vibe killer.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. You can rewrite your brain, my friends,
Speaker 1: We're talking about switching from this fixed mindset where you
Speaker 1: believe your talents and abilities are set in stone, to
Speaker 1: a growth mindset. Think of it like leveling up in
Speaker 1: your favorite video game. With a growth mindset, every challenge
Speaker 1: is just an opportunity to learn, adapt, and become a
Speaker 1: baddy version of yourself. So what's the tea on this
Speaker 1: whole growth mindset thing. Here are five key takeaways that
Speaker 1: will toe totally blow your mind. One, Embrace those freaking mistakes.
Speaker 1: I know, I know nobody likes screwing up, but here's
Speaker 1: the truth. Failure is not the opposite of success. It's
Speaker 1: a stepping stone to it. Every time you trip and fall,
Speaker 1: you learn something new about yourself and how to bounce
Speaker 1: back stronger. Just look at Elon Musk. Dude started with
Speaker 1: flame throwing rockets and now he's shooting people into space.
Speaker 1: Talk about growth. Two. Challenge those limiting beliefs. You know,
Speaker 1: those little voices in your head that whisper you can't
Speaker 1: do this or it's too hard. Yeah, they're liars, straight
Speaker 1: up haters. When you catch yourself thinking those negative thoughts,
Speaker 1: call them out. Say nope, not today, negativity. Instead, focus
Speaker 1: on what you can control and build your confidence brick
Speaker 1: by brick. Three, get comfortable being a beginner. We live
Speaker 1: in this culture obsessed with instant gratification, but real growth
Speaker 1: takes time and effort. Remember that feeling when you finally
Speaker 1: mastered a dance move or beat a tough level in
Speaker 1: a game. That's the magic of starting from scratch and
Speaker 1: putting in the work. Four. Seek out those growth minded peeps.
Speaker 1: Surround yourself with people who believe in you. Encourage your ambitions,
Speaker 1: and celebrate your progress, no matter how small they'll be.
Speaker 1: Your hype squad cheering you on every step of the way.
Speaker 1: And hey, even if it's just your dog, they're always
Speaker 1: down to be your biggest fan. Five. Celebrate those wins,
Speaker 1: big and small. Don't wait for some massive achievement to
Speaker 1: pat yourself on the back. Acknowledge those many victories along
Speaker 1: the way. Finishing a chapter of that book you've been
Speaker 1: meaning to read, nailing that presentation at work, or even
Speaker 1: just gang out of bed in the morning. Every little
Speaker 1: win is a step forward. Now, let me tell you
Speaker 1: about someone who truly embodies the growth mindset my man,
Speaker 1: Billie Eilish. This girl didn't just pop up out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: She started making music when she was a kid, constantly
Speaker 1: experimenting with sounds and styles. She faced criticism, doubters, and
Speaker 1: those classic teen struggles. But guess what, she kept pushing forward,
Speaker 1: learning from every experience, and eventually became one of the
Speaker 1: biggest music icons in the world. Think about it. Billy's
Speaker 1: story is proof that you don't need to have everything
Speaker 1: figured out right away. It's about embracing the journey, those
Speaker 1: messy moments included and using them as fuel for growth.
Speaker 1: She wasn't afraid to be different, to experiment and to
Speaker 1: keep evolving, and that's what sets her apart from everyone else.
Speaker 1: So here's the bottom line. Ditch that fixed mindset, embrace
Speaker 1: the journey, and remember you are capable of achieving anything
Speaker 1: you set your mind to. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Speaker 1: Now go out there and make some magic happen. Hit
Speaker 1: me up on Insta, dm me your biggest wins this week.
Speaker 1: I want to see those dopes leveling up. Don't forget
Speaker 1: to rate and review the podcast, share it with your squad,
