Ready to shut down negative thoughts, perfectionism, and your fear of failure for good? Learn to see challenges, struggles, and setbacks as stepping stones with Made for Greatness: Thrive Edition, a Catholic Growth Mindset Survival Guide for Tweens and Teens

God has started a good work within you, and He will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6).

But when life’s struggles drag you down, you can develop what’s called a fixed mindset: a consistent feeling of “stuck-ness” you can’t seem to improve.

You say things like:

“I think I’ll sit out for this soccer game. I’m not good, anyway.”
“This math lesson is impossible. I’m not even going to use it later in life.”
“I’ve never been good at drawing. That’s totally my sister’s thing.”

You may not be called to a career as a professional athlete, a mathematician, or a graphic designer.

You might not be called to give grand concerts or perform as a principal dancer on stage.

But you are called to something: a life of growth and virtue. In Made for Greatness: Thrive Edition, you’ll learn

• how God uses your struggles to help you grow in grace and wisdom
• why your suffering isn’t meaningless
• how quick, simple techniques can help you shut down negative thoughts, perfectionism, and fear of failure in an instant
• why you matter not just to God, but to your family, friends, and community
• how to make good decisions in line with God’s will for your life

What’s inside: 

• a step-by-step guide to crafting a growth mindset rooted in your Catholic faith
• a study of the virtues, plus practical, real-world ways to live them out in your life
• profiles of saints and other holy men and women who worked through challenges, failures, and difficulties 
• engaging, easy-to-follow worksheets and quick guides that help you learn about yourself, your strengths, and your vocation
• prayer and scripture passages for meditation and conversation with God

Secular growth mindset philosophy says that you can become anything. But becoming anything is not the same as becoming the person God’s designed you to be. Choosing God’s will and pursuing it despite challenges, setbacks, and failures? That’s going to make you fully alive.
