This week, I delved further into the growth mindset. I chose to learn more about work habits and various things we do that make us successful. I read the article entitled, "Scientists Find Secret to Thriving" from the University of Portsmouth.
The research itself is interesting as the team sets out to find what exactly it means to thrive. If I was asked to define what thriving means, I would likely say having a relative level of success in comparison to the rest of my peers. But this inevitably begs the question of what success means and how we compare the success of our peers to that of our own. The article gives clarification to this and it answers some key question.
Essentially, we have a "shopping list" of sorts, where we divide fields of success, for instance, spiritual success vs. financial success. While there is not a large amount of research into this field, the team suggests that they will increase the research into this list. Research suggests that when we achieve things in either of the List A or List B, we feel that we are "thriving."
