At R. Garza, we believe a growth mindset is seen and heard when our intelligence and abilities work together for making the right choices.
There’s a battle in your mind between your positive and negative voice every day. Which do you listen to the most? What about your third and most important voice, do you know what that is? Listen wisely. The voice in your heart is pure love. Something only YOU can hear.
