Cultivating Grit: Recent Episodes
Moorie Harrington
Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. It is the ability to persist in something you feel passionate about and persevere when you face obstacles.
When someone endures many challenges yet is successful in achieving a desired goal in the long run, it’s said that he’s got grit. People who possess this quality have a solid work ethic and find a way to stay motivated until they succeed, in addition to any amounts of talent or intelligence which they may have.
We all want to be better than we are today. And that often requires pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, even when you don’t feel like it. It requires getting back up and trying again and again when you fail.
Grit is a personality trait possessed by individuals who demonstrate passion and perseverance toward a goal despite being confronted by significant obstacles and distractions.
