Side Quest – Resilience

Introduction

On your journey back to society, you are preparing to contribute in your own unique way. This will not be easy; you will fail at times, no matter who you are. In this side quest, you will learn how to achieve your goals, and how a growth mindset will prepare you for failure. By learning to fail, you will never lose!

Challenge 2: Goal Setting

This video goes through the step by step approach to achieving any goal, as mentioned by Shane in the core quest. This technique can be applied to any goal you wish to achieve. These are the steps:

Step 1: Select a goal

Step 2: Define your motivation

Step 3: Break the goal down

Step 4: Write it down

As you can see the final step is to write it down. We suggest you get an A4 piece of paper, write down the goal you wish to achieve, and place it on the wall in your room.

Challenge 3a: Growth mindset – Your brain

Everything that you experience in life is interpreted by your brain. When you understand how your brain works, you will know how important it is to face failure. Watch this video and answer the quiz that follows.
