Be a lover of learning

 I saw a quote today that said" develope a love for learning, because if you do you will never stop growing." How true this statement is. Two people can go through the same thing and the one who has a learning or growth mindset will be the one who gets through better. They will be thinking how can I learn and become a better person because of this whereas the person who simply complains about what they are going through will be the person who gets stuck no matter how much time goes by. The person who has more of a growth mindset might for a time struggle and ask themselves why did this happen. They may even complain or vent for a bit but they gain the strength they need to move on and many times make something beautiful out of the hardship they just endured. 

I have been both in my life the one who stays stuck, now I'm in the process of becoming the person who asks what can I learn from this trail to become a better person. I can say that becoming the person who tries to stay in a growth mindset helps be able to not only stay positive but also allow yourself to grow from the trail. It doesn't mean that as trails come up that I jump right away to what I can learn but I'm becoming quicker at getting there. When I lived the other way it made me stuck in a depression that I couldn't get out of because of things that had happened to me. When we get stuck it doesn't just hurt us it ends up hurting everyone who dares to get close to us. The way I have been able to change is by asking the Lord for help, but also looking at myself to see ways I can change for the better. So if you are stuck don't beat yourself up because that will only make the situation worse, but do pray for help to get to the growth mindset that will help you in life.
