Growth

finding your strength

Growth governs effort: curiosity, competence, the long work of getting better at something. These feelings rise and fall with trying.

All six families pass through this need. Read the feelings below and you'll hear one question asked six ways: can I do this?

Effort has its own feelings. Bandura named the felt belief that trying will work: self-efficacy. Dweck showed how beliefs about ability color everything we attempt. Frustration and hope share this floor because trying lives here.
