And it is the poor who suffer disproportionately from the damaging effects of that wealth. In Aotearoa, Māori fill our prisons and live in our worst housing.

Recognizing our capacity for growth and development places accountability on ourselves to take charge and develop in the direction of our choosing. A fixed mindset might ask, Well what did they expect? After all, I didn’t have the skills needed. You accept the failure and, most likely, repeat the mistakes in the future.

Another example of how mindset affects physiology was shown in a 2012 study on the association between stress perception, health and mortality. Kelly McGonigal references the study in her 2013 TED talk, explaining that participants who experienced high levels of stress had an increased risk of death, but only if they believed stress to be harmful. Those who experienced high stress levels but did not see it as harmful were no more likely to die. McGonigal encourages developing more positive mindsets around stress, and to perceive your body’s physiological responses to stress – like a pounding heart and racing mind – as your body’s natural response to rise to the challenge and overcome it, as opposed to a signal that something is wrong. The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.”– Arnold Schwarzenegger
