The MineSet Project

My biggest weakness is my lack of self-confidence and growth mindset. To me, failure used to be the end. Nothing. Just a signal to me that I was no good at what I did. This mindset project opened my eyes to the idea failure doesn't mean this. Failure means to try again. To not give up. To think differently. This video showcases how when failure is on your life, it might open unexpected doors ;) And that creeper that keeps killing you in Minecraft might be a blessing in disguise. 

During this class, failure became one of my biggest challenges. Even the idea of failure began to haunt me and my decisions. I doubted everything I did in thought that I would fail because of it. This closed mindset is most evident in my very first assignment, a simple slide introduction. After hearing everyone else's introduction, I was surprised at how these strange and bizarre ideas were being applauded for creativity. This is when I learned that I need to step into the uncomfortable and start brainstorming on the edge of failure. 

After opening up, my creative process began to truly spark. Even just looking at my next assignment and creative introduction redo. It is evident that I truly embraced doing something that I find truly creative and entertaining. Not just to get the work done and in on time. This truly surprised me coming from a mindset where failure used to cause me to shut down. I began to embrace this failure and let it drive me to do something for myself instead of limiting myself to doing something I know is safe.
