 6  Powerful  Lessons  From  GRIT:

The Power of Passion and Perseverance


1. Grit is a better measurement for success than talent


You can have all the skills in the world, but if you don’t know how to apply them and survive the long haul, you’ll most likely never succeed. 


Talent gives us potential, but whether we use it is another thing.


2. High performance comes from mundane acts


Don’t disregard all the little acts you do every day


They are more important than you think and they add up over time. These little acts will make you extraordinary.


3. Grit is about stamina not intensity


No matter how hard we work for twenty-four hours, if we don't repeat the process regularly, then we will never attain success.


4. Decide what not to do


We have limited time and resources, so the way we funnel them both into certain activities will determine our long-term outcome.


5. It's our impact on others that often fuels our purpose


People who have grit can find purpose outside of themselves, according to research.


If your purpose is all about you and how it makes you feel, you’re unlikely to be still following the same dream in the future.


6. The way you deal with failure determines your success


Failure will never destroy you. Even when you succeed, you will face failure again.


The only constant between success and failure is courage.

 5 Lessons I Learned From The Book ‘As a Man Thinketh’ 1) You Become What You Think You are what you are right now because of the thoughts you once had or have. If you want to change yourself, you should first start with changing your thoughts. All the actions of man arise from the hidden seeds of thoughts. Just with the right choice and application of thought, man can ascend to divine perfection; while with wrong choice and application of thought, he can rise below the level of the beast. Good thoughts and results can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.  2)Your Mind is Like a Garden The author creates an analogy of our mind with the garden.

Just as the gardener weeds out all unnecessary plants it is the responsibility of every individual to plant the ...

Only when we declutter our brain of complex ideas can we think clearly and start to work with those ideas effectively." 3. "Once our thoughts are outside our head, we can examine them, play with them, and make them better. It's like a shortcut to realizing the full potential of the thoughts driving through our minds." 4. "Information becomes knowledge–personal, embodied, verified–only when we put it to use. You gain confidence in what you know only when you know that it works." 5.
