Hi, my friends,
I’ve been reminded on multiple fronts these past couple of weeks about the concept of ‘grit’.
It has come to mind, through inspiration from my heroes, personally and professionally and attending the Cowgirl Spring Roundup at Paws Up Resort in Montana this past week.
Grit and resilience are the heart of never giving up on something you love, no matter the obstacles.
I want to share some words from Daniel Coyle in his book, The Little Book of Talent.
“Talent and greatness are grown – not born…
Developing talent is like taking a cross-country hike. You will encounter challenges; you will hit snags, plateaus, and steep paths; motivation and progress will ebb and flow.
To sustain progress, one must be flexible one moment and stubborn the next, deal with immediate obstacles while staying focused on the horizon, and be a resourceful traveler.
Grit is the mix of passion, perseverance, and self-discipline that keeps us moving forward despite the obstacles.
It’s not flashy, and that’s precisely the point.
In a world where we’re frequently distracted by sparkly displays of skill, grit makes the difference in the long run.”
Fuel your spirit and keep going for your dream if it’s something you’re pulled to do – and you love.
The world needs you!
Have a great week and if you’d like to make a comment, please hit reply and let me hear from you.
