A group of people who support us in our goals help us build our grit-strength. When we begin a new goal/job/career/passion, most likely we will have failures as well as successes. Often as we begin, we fail several times and in several ways. What will we do? Go away and quietly suffer in silence. That may be necessary for a short while, but don’t let those failures become a lifestyle. Turn to your support group and get help.
My first support group is my family
and close friends. They listen when I
need to vent about failures and frustrations.
They celebrate my successes As I began to write, I found and
joined Heartland Writers Group. This
group accepted me, taught me and two members became my mentors. They taught me how to succeed as a
writer. Later I joined the Missouri
Writers Guild and have friends who are a great resource: they willingly share their knowledge as they
encourage me and cheer me in successes.
I am currently members in both groups. More information about grit can be found at http://www.uthealthleader.org/index/article.htm?id=3f86f187-b9d3-42f0-adce-d651499f5f9a
Next time I will talk about grit and
the physical component.
