So, let’s start by looking at what grit actually is and the role it can play in your future success. Although definitions can vary, I define Grit as “the place within all of us where passion meets determination…” I also believe that grit includes aspects of courage, tenacity, and resolve to accomplish your goals, no matter what. In other words, it’s that unwavering belief that everything works out the way it should, and it’s often accompanied by true joy and energy. Working on the tips I’ll share with you in today’s episode CAN help you uncover this power within you so that YOU can become unstoppable.
Resilience is often defined as a dynamic combination of optimism, creativity, and confidence, which together empower one to reappraise situations and regulate emotion. That is why this is often tied to grit, because today’s social scientists refer to this kind of behavior as “hardiness” or “grit.” Current researchers take it even further and explain that “hardiness” comprises three basic principles:

1) the belief one can find meaningful purpose in life,

2) the belief that one can influence one’s surroundings and the outcome of events,

3) the belief that positive and negative experiences will lead to learning and growth.
