Feel like you are stuck in a rut? You don't have to stay there.

There is a program offered by Khan Academy which will teach you how your brain works and how you can change your thinking from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

A person with a fixed mindset believes that he can never change. A person with a growth mindset realizes that h

There is one program geared toward high school students and adults and one program for elementary and middle school students. The program is educational and entertaining and is well worth the time spent watching it. Click on the address below to go directly to the program.

Your thoughts determine your destiny

"Watch your thoughts: They become your words.

Watch your words: They become your actions.

Watch your actions: They become your habits.

Watch your habits: They become your character.

Watch your character: It becomes your destiny."

- attributed to former Prime Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher

Notice that your destiny begins with your thoughts, so if you want to

change your life, purpose to become aware of and change your thoughts

to align with the life you want to live.
