“Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.” - Angela Duckworth

If you haven’t read “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by Angela Duckworth yet, I highly recommend it.

According to ChapGPT, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth explores the concept of "grit"—a combination of passion and perseverance that drives people to achieve long-term goals.

Duckworth argues that talent alone is not enough for success; instead, it’s the ability to persist through challenges, remain focused, and maintain passion over time that truly makes a difference.

Through research and personal stories, Duckworth shows that grit is a more important predictor of achievement than natural ability, and she offers insights on how to cultivate grit in ourselves and others.

The book emphasizes the power of resilience and effort in the pursuit of meaningful, long-term success.” (OpenAI, 2025)

Grit is powerful and it can be developed.

We develop it by pushing through our challenges and not quitting.

If you want something bad enough, you’re going to have to go after it and continue to pursue it every day.

You have grit waiting within you, start developing it today.

Stay positive and take action!
