LET’S GET GRITTY

• Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future day in and day out, not just for the week, for the month, but for years and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living like it is a marathon, not a sprint.

• We need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.
