furthermore, if you really want to be successful in life, you need to be with people of equal mindset like you.if you have friends that are contributing nothing into your life or do not have the same
mindset like you,do you know that you have the right to kick them out of your life?, not really in a harsh way.you can kick them out by withdrawing yourself away from them without them knowing or you simply talk to them that you don't want to hang around with them.
well,let's go through the article for the day,here you will see the different types of mindset people have.but first let's look at the dictionary definition of mindset
According
to dictionary.com, the definition of mindset is this;
“A fixed mental
attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations
of situations.”
From this
definition, it’s clear that the type of mindset we adopt in life, can easily
determine how much success, happiness and wealth we achieve.
How many
different types of mindsets are there?
The
number of potential mindsets that exist really depends on how much you
generalize the word “mindset”. There closer you look into it, the more differentiation’s
you could class as an individual mindset.
However,
most people fit into a small number of mindsets, most of which will be listed
in this article.
Different Types of Mindsets People Have
The
different types of mindsets which have been listed in this article are those
that the majority of the world’s population will fall into. Many of us will
fall into more than one of these mindsets; which can either be a really food
thing, or a really detrimental thing.
1. The Social Mindset
People
who have the social mindset love to hang around with people, make new friends and
just explore new cultures and ways of life.
People
who are social thrive of spending time with their friends. They also get a kick
out of talking to strangers, and being able to enjoy conversation with them.

advantages of having the social mindset:
- You find it easier to make new friends
- You possess great communication skills.
- You’re able to be comfortable easily in the majority of social situations
The
disadvantages of having the social mindset:
- You may rely on talking with others for happiness

2. The Growth Mindset
The
growth mindset is a wonderful and amazing mindset. People who have the desire
and drive to grow are always improving themselves. They love challenging
themselves and constantly being better than they were yesterday.
It’s
fairly easy to tell when someone has the growth mindset.
They like
to make going to the gym a regular activity. They like to always being building
their knowledge of themselves and the universe. They often become entrepreneurs
seeking to help others grow, and they have an outlook that a situation can
always be bettered.
The
advantages of having the growth mindset:
- You’re going to be improving different areas of your life at a fast pace
- It’s going to be a lot easier for you to put in the work needed to succeed
The disadvantages
of having the growth mindset:
You might be so set on growing, that you forget to actually enjoy living
Do you
have the growth mindset?
3. The Fear Mindset
There’s a
little bit of the fear mindset within all of us. However, those that let the
fear mindset become their major way of thinking, become stuck.
People
who let fear get the best of them are unable to use their time to the best of
their ability. All those thrilling experiences, places travelled, achievements
and such never happen.
They
never happen because of the fear of what could go wrong, and that leads to a
very minimal and quite frankly, dull life.
The
advantages of having the fear mindset:
- There are no real advantages
The
disadvantages of having the fear mindset:
- You can never achieve your dreams by being afraid
- You will live inside a shell, afraid to try new things
- It will become difficult to find your passion or purpose
Do you
have the fear mindset?
4. The Lazy Mindset
Being
lazy is a pretty poor mindset to have, and it’s also a mindset that many more
people are adopting upon themselves this day in age.
Why?
We’ve
made them lazy. Through fast food and advanced technology such as the likes of
TV and social media. Not to mention a number of other factors.
So we
have no discipline and no desire to get off our asses and do something
productive.
The
advantages of the lazy mindset:
- It’s easy to achieve happiness in the short term
The
disadvantages of the lazy mindset:
- You’re unlikely to possess the discipline to achieve big things
- Your health is at risk.
- Your time is often being wasted
Do you
have the lazy mindset?
5. The Envy Mindset
Someone
who’s envious is often jealous of other people who’re perhaps doing better than
them. Maybe they’re jealous because of someone’s success,healthy relationship,
job, wealth, body, looks…
You name
it.
While
it’s not the best mindset to have because rather than focusing your energy on developing yourself, you channel it to envying others and bringing yourself down.
The
advantages of the envy mindset:
- It can be a motivational factor in pushing you towards taking action
The
disadvantages of the envy mindset:
- You will become obsessed with what other people are doing
- You will waste time over other people easily
- You may come across to others in a negative way
Do you
have the envy mindset?
6. The Business Mindset

own business. The business mindset is one in which you love serving others.

to provide a service to people, and help change the world, whilst also be

7. The Dreamer Mindset
The
dreamer mindset is the one I love the most. People who possess this mindset
have the ability to dream big and think big. They love to believe that anything
is possible, and they have the ability to come up with incredible visions for
their future.
Though,
the mindset of a dreamer does have its flaws.
The
advantages of the dreamer mindset:
- You possess the ability to think big
- You know what you want from your future
- You realize just how much you can achieve from your life
The
disadvantages of the dreamer mindset:
- Dreaming is only good if you take action on those dreams
Do you
possess the dreamer mindset?
8. The Follower Mindset
The
follower mindset is a way of thinking that easily allows others to determine what’s
in store for your future. With the follower mindset, you don’t have complete
control over your life, but you’re allowed to believe you do.
By telling
you this, I mean that people who ‘follow’ are those who go with the normal way
of doing things. They don’t like to question things.
Therefore
they go to school like they’re supposed to. They get a job like they’re
supposed to. They start a family like they’re supposed to.
Does this
sound familiar to you?
The
advantages of the follower mindset:
- There’s less risk being a follower, and you’ll feel safe.
The
disadvantages of the follower mindset:
- You will be going after what others want, not necessarily what you want
- You might never truly achieve happiness
- You’ll potentially only ever do or achieve things that 90% of others also achieve
Do you
possess the follower mindset?
9. The Greed Mindset
We’re
guilty of always wanting more. It often doesn’t how much money we have, we
still want more. It’s a vicious cycle.
In the
past, the wealthy have been associated with being greedy. A common misconception.
Nothing good comes from being greedy; and when we want more, we never fully
achieve happiness despite how much we have to be thankful for in our lives.
The
advantages of the greed mindset:
- It may motivate you towards becoming a successful and wealthy individual
The
disadvantages of the greed mindset:
- Your greed may be the death of you
- You will always want more, and never fully be satisfied
- You’re not focused on helping others, one of the prime purpose’s in life
Do you
possess the greed mindset?
10. The Gratitude Mindset
We put
the greed mindset before the gratitude mindset in this article on purpose. A
lot of people forget to be grateful for everything they have in life. For
having a roof over their head, a paying job, a family, a good supply of food
and water.
We often
forget to be thankful for what we have, because the majority of people within
our country of origin have exactly the same as us. The people we speak with and
spend time with on a daily basis; all have access to the same basic resources
we have.
If you
can be grateful for what you have, you won’t take anything for granted in this
life, and you’ll be happier in the long run.
The
advantages of the gratitude mindset:
- You appreciate the things you have a lot more
- It keeps you humble, no matter how much success you achieve in life
- It’s a lot easier for you to be a happy individual
- You’ll make the most of the precious time you have
The
disadvantages of the gratitude mindset:
- There are no real disadvantages of being grateful
Do you
possess the gratitude mindset?
