- 3:01Speaker 3: trivia question? The question was in psychology, what mindset focuses
- 3:08Speaker 3: on learning and improvement rather than on flawless results. The
- 3:14Speaker 3: answer is a growth mindset. Yes, a growth mindset emphasizes effort, learning,
- 3:22Speaker 3: and resilience, understanding that mistakes aren't failures their feedback. Now
- 3:30Speaker 3: you know, perfection creates pressure. Progress creates possibility. When you
- 3:42Speaker 3: focus on being perfect, you freeze. When you focus on improving,
- 3:47Speaker 3: you move. Progress allows room for mistakes, adjustments, and learning.
- 3:53Speaker 3: It's how confidence grows, not overnight, but over time. You
- 3:58Speaker 3: don't need to be flawless, you just need to keep moving.
- 4:15Speaker 3: To close this week's program, we have a quote from
- 4:19Speaker 3: Brene Brown. Perfectionism is not the key to success, but
- 4:25Speaker 3: it's often the path to burn out. So today give
- 4:30Speaker 3: yourself permission to be a work in progress. Celebrate effort
- 4:35Speaker 3: over outcome. Choose progress again and again. Thank you for
