What gives vibrancy to life? Each one of us may well answer it differently. Yet it is something we all yearn for.  We know when our life lacks vibrancy.  By the time we are fifty and beyond for many of us much of our life has become routine.  If we want more vibrancy we have to develop a growth mindset which challenges us to take action to create what we want for ourselves.

A growth mindset is a springboard for taking action. We need energy to take action. There are five areas that we all have to manage: health, work, money, relationships and environment that can energize us or zap our energy. With a growth mindset we realize it is up to us to change the energy zappers to energy creators by the action we take.

We can live vibrantly throughout our life by using our energy to our advantage and taking action to pursue what matters to us. As Buckminster Fuller said: The minute you begin to do what you want to do, it's a different kind of life.

Is a growth mindset the answer to living vibrantly after fifty? It turns out it is only half the answer. Listen in as we explore what else is essential.

 Here is one one of my favorite quotes by William James: "The minute a man seizes to grow, no matter what his years, he begins to grow old". This is especially helpful for us who are in the second half of life to keep in mind.  The emphasis is on growing and in my shows I have been talking about the value of developing a growth mindset.

Yet by the time we have been around for fifty plus years most of us have gotten settled in our thinking and developed routines for living.  The question to ask is: Am I growing or standing still? Most of us will probably realize that there is still a lot inside us that is yearning to come out.  This is the time to take action to bring forth our potential, create satisfying relationships, and learn to be fully in charge of our life.  A growth mindset is the key that keeps us from seizing to grow.

Your mindset makes the difference between achieving what you want or limiting yourself. By the time we are in our fifties and beyond most of us have settled into habits and routines. In today's show we will talk about how to change beliefs from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. It is this shift that leads to being able to pursue our vision to live vibrantly after fifty.

 It takes having or developing a growth mindset in order to live vibrantly after fifty. People with a growth mindset believe that they continue to learn new things by stretching  their minds and applying effort. They relish discovering new things about themselves and enjoy being engaged in life.

Many of us may have gotten into habits by the time we are fifty and beyond which reflect a fixed mind.  There is great value in applying a cultivating a growth mindset as we age.  It allows for flexibility and discovery of our potential.  It is not just the viewing but also the doing that truly leads to living fully.  Listen to the show and learn more about how to develop your growth mindset.;

In this episode we will discuss how a growth mindset is essential to living vibrantly after fifty. Our mindset is how we view ourselves. By growing our mindset we can keep discovering new possibilities to enrich our lives.
