Today’s wisdom comes from Grit by Angela Duckworth.
Angela teaches us: “Effort counts twice. Talent x Effort = Skill. Skill x Effort = Achievement.”
Success isn’t about talent alone. It’s about showing up every day with passion and perseverance.
Here’s how to cultivate grit today:
First, discover your passion. Duckworth says: “Passion is not just fireworks—it’s a compass.” Reflect on your deepest values and align your actions with them.
Next, commit to daily practice. She writes: “The grittiest people show up every day with an attitude of, ‘Whatever it takes, I want to improve.’”
And finally, hold on to hope. Duckworth reminds us: “If we stay down, grit loses. If we get up, grit prevails.”
