"Though I have fallen, I will rise." Micah 7:8 NIV
One author writes: "Grit is passion and perseverance for a long-term goals. It's a marathon, not a sprint...You're not just running , but getting hit along the way. Grit keeps you moving through the sting of rejection, pain of failure, and struggle with adversity. When life knocks you down, you may want to stay down and give up, but grit won't let you quit...True grits starts with knowing what you truly want. When you know what you want and you can see it, you'll work hard and persevere to achieve it. True grit is also driven by clarity of mind, purpose, passion, optimism, faith, love, hope and quite honestly--stubbornness. Knowing your why, refusing to give up, ignoring the critics, believing the possible. loving what you do, and showing up day in and day out keeps you on the path toward your vision. There's something inside each of us that wants to feel worthy and be someone of value...The truth is not everyone will share your vision and believe in your project. But always remember that the circumstances around you and the opinion of others don't create or define you. Life is never created from the outside in. You create life from the inside out. The grit and spirit you possess on the inside will create the life you experience not the outside. If you have a vision, keep it alive. Remember your purpose. Show up every day and do the work." John Quincy Adams said, "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear." So, stay on course and keep moving forward, and you will succeed.
