"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in the very nature of God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." -Philippians 2:5-7 (NIV)
Educational researcher Carol Dweck has explained a theory of fixed mindset versus growth mindset. Our motivation to learn can be impacted by whether we think our ability is fixed or by whether we think our ability can grow through effort. We should also consider our mindset for how we choose to act in all aspects of our lives, not just our education!
In our lives a growth mindset can be beneficial, but we need a Christ mindset as we build relationships with each other and live a life for God. As we interact with each other, we need to remember that Jesus was God, but He became human. He experienced what we experience. He was humble and kind. He did not put others down, even though He had advantage over everyone He met! As we meet people, we need to be humble and kind. We need to show the love of Jesus to all that we meet. Through prayer, learning about Jesus, and practice, we can work toward having a more Christ-like mindset and building better relationship!
Work toward having a more Christ-like mindset so you can show love and build better relationships!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for sending Your Son to show me how to live. Please help me to have a more Christ-like mindset, to show Your love, and to build better relationships. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
