You have probably heard of the popular tail of the horse Seabiscuit. You have maybe read the book or watched the movie. So, what does that have to do with you and the, "Growth Mindset?" Everything. Here was a team of people with a horse who wasn't supposed to make it yet, they believed in a horse, and they believed in each other as a team.
When you look at your own team and analyze it, you can see individuals who can't pull together. Or you can see a group of people with strengths and weaknesses and begin to rebuild.
Seabiscuit and his team showed America how far someone can push themselves to achieve the unachievable. Red, the Jockey was blind in one eye. Seabiscuit was undersized and was supposed to be put to sleep. While the owner, Red and trainer Howard Smith complete this group, each one broken in their own way. Their spirit and hard work payed off for this team at a time when America needed something to believe in.
Now is the time for you to remember this. They were broken but were able to believe in their own success and push themselves. You may not be the winning spot right now, but if you take chances, learn everything you can and constantly push yourself to be better you can become something more than what you ever thought possible.
