Creator Mindset Analysis

Improved Essays
The biggest change I have made this semester is taking on a creator mindset/attitude. You could ask anyone that knows me and they would say I have a pessimistic attitude. I would always joke and say I’m a pessimist because I’m either right or I’m pleasantly surprised. Simple having the negative thoughts floating around in my head constantly has certainly been a dead weight holding me down. Your attitude is something that only you have control over and you are the only one that can change it. I use to get bummed out when I didn’t do well on a test or assignment but now with my creator mindset I go to office hours ask questions and better myself for it. Due to all the changes I made this semester I have not had any poor exam/major assignment grades. However, my first math exam I …show more content…
The creator mindset has help me reach out and get the help I need and overall has helped me stay positive. One thing that was not covered in class but has helped me stay in a creator mindset is music choose. I listened to a lot of rap with negative messages which help feed my pessimistic ideas. I didn’t start lesioning to gospel music or something like that but choose to listen to music with a more positive perspective on society. Just that change alone has kept the positive vibes flowing. Now even when I have a lot of work to do I don’t think of it as I have to do all of this work, I think of it as I have an opportunity to learn I flip the I have to do this to a positive to I get to learn all of this information. And the information is going to help me reach my long term goals of getting a degree and having a job in which I am happy. Before I would say to myself I hope a get a job I am happy in and now I know that happiness is a choice. I refuse to make the choice of being negative and my happiness is just a mindset away. That mindset being the mindset of a creator. There is one saying that I always thought was a joke and only a few people got to live,

    Although there is a sense of individualism incorporated into changing one’s mindset, the process is bound to whom or what people interact with on a daily basis. Individuals who don’t subscribe to a particular religion seek outlets that allow them to fill the void in their lives. As Armstrong states, “We make a point of seeking out these experiences that touch us deeply within and lift us momentary beyond ourselves” (7). Each individual has a different way of finding value in their daily activities. People will alter their state of awareness through these non-religious…

    College Success Skills #2 At the beginning of this semester, my main goal was to work on my habit of procrastination. I wanted to manage my time better with the use of a planner and make myself sit down and do my homework or study ahead of time so that I wouldn’t be as stressed out and could have time to have fun with friends without worrying about an assignment or test. At first I was doing an okay job, but soon I found myself falling back into my old habits.…

    I would say that I learned the most about what it really means to have time management after this semester. Entering my first semester of college I had blind faith in the University, and myself because I believe everything would just work out and I would pass because it was meant to be. However, fate and hope are no the things to help you life as a new college student. The drive to wake up, attend class, finish homework, and accept the new responsibility that had been placed in my novice hands diminished greatly as the non-academic temptations became to creep in my head. I must be honest with you and let you know that I did cave and willingly participate in the sweet release of social experiences.…

    This semester has been a very difficult, stressful, and challenging for me . High School can not compare the amount of stress I had to face in this fall semester at Hostos Community College. However, it is like that with many other students because making a transition is frightening and many of us find a way to run away from it. Everything in life is a challenge and it is scary as well, but for those who want to study it all starts of with college. It took me more than words to actually realize the reality that I am actually living right at this very moment because, I was not expecting so many things to fall apart, but somehow becoming whole again.…

From hating school to liking it is a change and it’s brought me to now even have a dream to go to a university that I never even thought I would be able to go to. The doubts are what makes me want to get better and stronger. I want to prove them wrong and I will keep believing even if I’m going through an obstacle that’s trying to pull me down, I know that there is a way to get back up.
