Georgia, thank you so much for reading and telling your story in the comments, here. I appreciate them both.

I'm glad you grew into a growth mindset. I trust your relationships are better now that you've changed a little bit and adopted more growth-related beliefs (and, importantly, actions)?

How are your relationships different, if you care to share? If not, no worries.

And yes, I used to be much more destiny-minded myself. Not because I believed that I would be fixing something broken, but I think some amount of Destiny Mindset is natural, part of being young. When you're young, you haven't yet learned all the tools you need—you don't know how to grow with someone.

Some people are Destiny mindset but only by default because they haven't learned how to be anything else and when you don't have the tools to make adjustments, it's reasonable to conclude it must be fatalistic.

I think this is why so many people I mentioned in the article said things like red flag and other harsh words about Destiny Mindset.
