Linear Mindset
What is a linear mindset? It is a mindset according to Steve Pavlina
“The linear mindset is very common, especially in the Western world. We love to measure things and assign them grades and ratings. Which car is the most fuel-efficient this year? Is company X more profitable than it was last year? How fit and healthy am I?”
The limitation of this mindset is that it is hard to achieve the balance between self-acceptance and personal growth. Applying a linear mind set to achieve both will leads to conflict and disappointment. So what’s the solution?
As usual Steve came up with a wise and simple answer. Curious to findout then read his post at Self-Acceptance-vs-Personal-Growth. And I like to add, reading his post reminded me of a passage from the bible, here is the verse:-
“There are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love.” First letter of St Paul to the Corinthians 12:31-13:13
