“Whenever there is a gap between your habits and your goals, your habits will always win.” James Clear

Failure is essential

Leaders with Grit view failure not only as something to get through, but as essential to growing and developing. ― Shannon Huffman Polson

Sometimes God’s answer is “no.”

Not because I am doing anything wrong or because I lack faith, but because that’s what needed to happen for me to reach my full potential.

Remember Christ’s response? “Thy will, not mine, be done.”

My faith is not measured by God giving me the answer I want.

My faith is measured by my reaction to God’s answer.

Mary Stallings (adapted)

Grit is the ability to take what is negative & turn it around, to not let it pull you down.

Two principles are inherent in individual responsibility; first, the learning, the knowing what one’s duty is; second, to act in all diligence in the performance of that duty . . . Life is a battle for each person every day. Fight this battle within yourself, and decide upon your course of action regarding what your duty is to your family and to your fellowmen. Then set out from this to go beyond it. “Whate’er thou art, act well thy part.” ― David O. McKay
