Growth Consciousness





I have been reading a book The Progress Principle by Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer that has intrigued me.  The authors share the difference between "goal consciousness" and "growth consciousness" that we might want to keep in mind as we enter the season of New Year's Resolutions. 

Goal Consciousness:
  • Focus on destination
  • Motivates you and others
  • Seasonal
  • Challenges you
  • Stops when goal is reached
Growth Consciousness:
  • Focus on the journey
  • Matures you and others
  • Lifelong
  • Changes you
  • Keeps you growing beyond goal
