A Growth Mindset Enhances Relationships

A growth mindset is good for relationships.  Actually,  I think,  that it is essential to developing healthy relationships.  When two individuals begin a relationship they have the task of learning to also be  a twosome. Not an easy task considering that each person comes with unique  life experiences and each is filled  with expectations for the relationship.

A growth mindset makes it possible to grow together.  In contrast, anyone who is operating from a fixed mindset thinks that he/she knows what is right not just for self but also for the partner.  In order to have a successful relationship there has to be flexibility and a willingness to learn how to make a relationship work.

People with a growth mindset are open to change and seeing things in  new ways. They have learned to let go of competition and judging and have developed  a mindset that allows for learning  new skills and renewed appreciation for each other.  No one has to be perfect.  Instead, there is a commitment to growth and a recognition that growth of the individual and the relationship takes time, effort, and mutual support.

Learning and growing is seen as a life long process. If both people have a growth mindset they will together find solutions on how to grow as individuals and how to grow together.  The result is that their relationship will be enhanced.
