Grti!!!!

The technical definition

Grit is a personality trait possessed by individuals who demonstrate passion and perseverance toward a goal despite being confronted by significant obstacles and distractions.  Those who possess grit are able to self-regulate and postpone their need for positive reinforcement while working diligently on a task.

• Manage your distractions.  We all have things in our life that pull us away from what really matters. Whether it’s social media, television, our bad habits, or an unhealthy relationship, they all offer us early rewards without lasting value.  Discover what most commonly distracts you, determine what small reward it’s offering you, and in your moments of temptation, remind yourself of the greater reward that you are trying to achieve in realizing your ultimate goal.
• Eradicate your “fixed mindset.”  The results are in: success does not just land itself on the laps of those who are privileged, blessed, or lucky.  Talent is earned; if you desire it, you must work for it.
• Confront your fears of failure.  Everyone fails and encounters some level of challenge.  If something is valuable enough to you, decide that you are willing to experience some amount of failure in order to achieve it.  Without that, you will not be vulnerable enough to just begin.
• Generate your own early rewards.  When there’s a task that feels really big, it’s easy to get discouraged.  If you break it down into smaller pieces and reward yourself along the way, you will be more aware of your progress and more likely to stay motivated to the task at hand.
