Growth Mindset: Look for the Positive and Breathe

"You Will Be Okay"
I need to remind myself this every day. I stress at work because I need more time, then I stress about school and homework because I need more time, and then I stress because I don't have time for myself. Sometimes you just have to breathe and remember that "you will be okay."

"Find the Lesson"
This post was talking about failure. We aren't really geared by society to go out and find the failure to learn from. Instead, we're taught that failure is something negative. But if I can apply myself to realize that failure is an opportunity to learn, things look a little more positive.

    Hey Aleshia,
    I really relate to the way you describe the pressure of not having enough time. I consistently feel as if work and school are closing in on me and the world will crumble if I cannot get everything completed. It is so important to remind ourselves to push through the busy times to remember: all the hard work will be worth it.

I think this will be very useful, and I'm excited to see how it will help me with the rest of this class.

Week 6 Story: Ekalavya's Misfortune

They ask me who I am. "I am a pupil of Drona," I say. The whisper amongst themselves. Until I hear them say, "Call for Drona. Call for Drona." Before Drona arrives, I make the decision that I will do whatever must be done to have some good fortune for my name. It isn't fair that I wasn't born to wealth and that eliminates my rights. Drona approaches me saying, "I have heard a word that you claim yourself to be my pupil." I nod my head. "Yes, ask of me anything and I shall deliver." Drona thinks for a second. "Chop off thy right thumb, for that is what I must have of you." I nod, and with a smile and my head held high grab for my knife. I place my hand on a tall rock nearby and quickly slice my thumb from my right hand. The blood begins to gush and quickly I rip a piece of my garment off to wrap my severed hand in. I turn to hand my prized thumb to Drona. And then it hits me. How might I have any skill left witho...
