Chatting with an Army buddy about embracing challenge-seeking behavior in our daily life My buddy said he realized that “People without a growth mentality seem almost maliciously lazy” when you live that way Not a value judgment (we all have different struggles), but this sums up a lot of my unconscious thinking

What would be an example of that behavior (lack of growth mentality) from someone in your circle?

"I'm fat and unhappy about it" -> does not change diet, exercise more, or adjust lifestyle bc it's uncomfortable "I hate my job" -> incredibly competent + qualified yet doesn't apply to new jobs bc it's unknown "I wish I could do X" -> makes no effort to start doing that thing bc it's hard and other similar flavors

ufff yes, fully agree, very frustrating to hear this a harder to observe but similar flavour: sometimes the growth mindset can be the thing that you want to change but don't. "Why do I always need more and more. Why can't I just be content"

It can be hard. This might not apply to everyone, but where I come down on it is when I have those feelings (the job one hits home) I have to wonder if I’m just being lazy or if there’s something else pulling my attention. If so a couple questions arise: - am I complaining about the right thing? - should I let one thing be less than perfect so I can fully enjoy/devote myself to something else? - should I stop working on the “distraction” to fix the problem? I think people often have a hard time figuring out the root problem they should solve, then get discouraged fighting the wrong problem. We should be looking for the hole, but all we can see is the drill bit.
