it’s not so much what happens to you that defines you, as how you interpret what happens to you. 5 Your mindset is the lens through which you see the world and yourself. Your identity, therefore, is formed by your mindset. And you can change your mindset, says Stanford social scientist Carol Dweck. 6 But again, why would you want to? For you to want the new mindset Christ offers and the new identity it confers, you have to see it in sharp contrast, even collision, with the mindset you’ve previously been living under. You have to see it as a more attractive, more compelling option.
