I went to bed early last night and my dog did not wake me up through the night to take it outside. Consequently, I feel really refreshed this morning and ready and eager to face the challenges of the day. I will have more than enough opportunities to apply the growth mindset theory today.
“Growth mindset is a motivation theory proposed by Carol Dweck that posits our beliefs about intelligence, and the ability to change mindsets can have impacts on how we approach challenges, respond to criticism challenges and orient our goals.”
I think that the growth mindset theory fits well with the runes, which are a means for self-improvement. The runes are a means to become more god-like, meaning that they help us to be the best version of ourselves, to live our full potential, and to become co-creators of the world. We become actors creating our destiny rather than being victims of external forces. Ultimately, the runes help us to optimally utilize every opportunity that is offered to us through life so that we can live life fully. The runes provide a solid system within which we can apply the Growth Mindset Theory
The runes are perfectly balanced forces that we integrate into our lives so that we no longer have to live in fear, with stress, or with restrictions and limitations. We can self-actualize. They give us the strength to face all circumstances and to embrace our fate and destiny with courage and determination.
The runes are the strings of the web of wyrd, with which we weave our lifes into the fabric of the universe. We build a stronger inner body and soul, knowing that death is a transition and not the end. As we lift ourselves into the rune realms and integrate these powerful forces into our lives, we begin to reflect the perfect balance of forces, energies, and intelligence represented in the cosmology of the runes. Each rune has its place, its focus, and its work, and yet form a tight unity together. When we integrate the runes within us and in our lives we experience a wholeness and unity within ourselves that reflects a harmony and balance in everything we do. The sum of the rune forces acting together is more than that of each individual rune.
By integrating the runes into our lives, we can learn to approach challenges with a growth mindset. We develop the belief that our abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. We also develop the resilience to bounce back from setbacks and to learn from our mistakes.
For example, the rune FA teaches us the importance of enthusiasm and initiating new beginnings. The rune UR teaches us to embrace challenges and to see them as opportunities for growth. The rune THORN teaches us to overcome obstacles and to persevere in the face of adversity.
By integrating the runes in our lives, we become masters of our own destiny. Ever searching upwards, we serve the greater good in all spheres of existence as we express the beauty, subtlety, and creative power of the runes in our essence.
