Grit Not Gripe
The Scouting Report:
1. “What is Grit? Grit is simply the ability to draw a line in the sand and then stand your ground. Grit is the ability to repeatedly fight and win small battles of the will.”
2. ” What is Gripe? Gripe on the other hand is the inability to stand your ground. It is your propensity to blame others for your problems instead of taking a good look at your internal self and your own actions.”
3. “Grit is not something that another person can give to you. It really has nothing to do with how motivated you are. Instead, it is something you give to yourself by being challenged and being open to work through those challenges on a regular basis.”
