    Thank you, Father Mike. This perfectly describes what I went through when I got to college. I was a straight A student in high school, and when I got to college, I struggled with keeping up with the work load. My ego was hit hard, and over the next few semesters, my motivation and my grades started tanking. I had to learn new motivation when things were a struggle. But now you’ve put it in words that make sense of it all. A growth mindset vs a set mindset. We’re all born sinners, but God makes saints out of us. I hope I never forget the implications of his grace.

    • @barbarawalsh2875
      @barbarawalsh2875 Год назад

      I didn’t get my license till I was 20. And it was only by the fact that one of the driving test teachers would have my fathers firefighters take their tests to operate the fire trucks. It was the only time in my life when my father put his uniform on when he didn’t have to And took me to the drivers license bureau so I could take my driving test. And he walked up to the lady and when it was my turn she came and got me and she said OK let’s go and we drove around for a little bit of time maybe 10 minutes and she said let’s go get your picture taken. 10 years ago I started losing my eyesight so I can’t drive anymore. Are used to miss it but now I don’t know when I really wish I could just get in the car and go. Yeah I miss it then but for the most part no car, no insurance no upkeep no hyper Bolic prices of gas, and not having to worry about a lot of loud music, text messaging, food, eating, women putting make up on behind the wheel. I just don’t have to deal with it and that’s OK.

    This reminds me of the kids I used to teach (I was a math tutor). A lot of them believed that they were bad at math or that whatever new thing they had to learn would be really hard. It's a wonderful feeling when the kids realize they can do it! One student, who had been really reluctant to try a new concept, after I had helped him a little bit, he said, "Oh, that's easy!"
    Maybe I also have accepted some beliefs about myself that are not true.

    Father Mike, what you said resonates with the book I am currently reading, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. The first agreement is: "Speak impeccably" which indicates that our words and what we say to ourselves and to others can create what the book refers "creating a spell" either in a positive or negative way. And this study that you brought up reminds me of that. I love listening to you on RUclips

Ever since then, I have always believed that I don’t have the ability to write such papers. He never offered any suggestions to help me move forward and learn and I didn’t have the courage to ask. I have never forgotten that and I am 55.
