Many people might remember the food pyramid.  It was created by the USDA in 1992 to give a visual explanation of what was considered at the time to be a healthy diet.  This common image that is likely remembered frequenting the back of a cereal box was the model of food consumption for a short 19 years.

Today I want to explore the power of cultivating a growth mindset in our lives, in the lives of our families and our communities.  So, can we change how we think about things, including ourselves?  The answer is yes.  You can find a wealth of information on the topic of mindset, and PhD Carol S Dweck’s work, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, is just one of many resources available.
