Our mindsets determine the way we see the world, as well as, the way we behave and who we are as people.
It’s very easy and normal to stay stuck in fixed mindsets - limiting beliefs about our abilities and skills that prevent us to learn new things.
We can intentionally cultivate a growth mindset that allows us to stretch our minds and amplify the realm of possibilities of what we do, and who we are.
Amplifying our mindsets is one of the secrets of success, for most entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals out there.

Exploring Change Through Philosophy: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Minds
No man ever steps in the same river twice for it's not the same river and it's not the same man."
- Heraclitus
In this episode, Ana Melikian takes us on a philosophical journey through the concept of change and how it shapes our mindsets and our world. Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the MINDSET ZONE, Ana delves into ancient Greek philosophy to explore varying perspectives on change.
Is change an illusion, as some philosophers argue, or is it a constant flow, as suggested by others? Ana introduces us to fascinating philosophical debates involving figures like Perimenides and Heraclitus—the former believing nothing truly changes and the latter asserting that everything is in constant flux.
However, Ana doesn't stop there. She highlights the intriguing middle ground proposed by philosopher Empedocles, who suggested that both perspectives are valid. Drawing from this idea, Ana inspires listeners to transcend seeming contradictions in their own lives. By creatively mixing our strengths and weaknesses like an artist blends colors, we can transform our mindsets and achieve our desired outcomes.
Gain fresh insights into the nature of change and discover practical ways to apply these age-old philosophies to your modern life. It's a thought-provoking episode that promises to expand what's possible for you.
