Keyword belief The beliefs that you have are a critical component of who you are. For example there is a spectrum on mindsets that range from fixed mindset to growth mindset. A fixed mindset would be that you believe that you succeed based on your innate ability. Basically what you were born with is what allows you to succeed. This is called a fixed mindset. A growth mindset on the other hand, as if you believe that progress is based and hard work, learning and training. Your actions will define for you which mindset you are. For example if you have a negative reaction to failure you are probably from the fixed mindset individuals because it is a negative statement about your basic abilities and the reminder of your inherent perceived or believed limitations. On the other hand, growth mindset people do not have as much of a fear of failure because they they realize that their performance can be improved and sometimes improve just because of failure.

In the book

You can tell which one you carry by watching your reaction to failure. If a setback feels like a verdict on your basic worth, you are speaking the fixed mindset's language; if it feels like information about where to push next, you are speaking the growth mindset's. The difference even changes the feedback you go looking for: people who are committed and confident actually seek out negative feedback, because when your goal is to improve a skill rather than to prove you already have it, a correction moves you forward instead of wounding you. […] The mindset first: you are not finished, your brain is still clay, and the only question is what you will shape it into next. Adopt the growth mindset on purpose. When you hear yourself say "I can't," add the word yet; treat effort as the road to mastery rather than proof you lack talent; read your failures as information about where to push, not verdicts on your worth; and actively seek out the negative feedback most people flee. Be a lifelong learner. Set aside time every single day for it, and never stop, because the day you stop is the day you die mentally; be your own great teacher; learn from the giants who came before you, and love the truth enough to admit when you are wrong. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
