Business Short

It Takes Grit

It is easy to make excuses when things go wrong. It is easy to allow the “poor ole me” syndrome to rule your life when things are not going your way.

But, it takes “grit”, yes, hard packed “grit” to seek solutions to life’s problems rather than to continue praising those problems and blaming everything in sight for the problem being there. Inactivity of action regarding a personal or business issue good or challenging is of no value.  What makes this true? It is because the next morning and every morning thereafter you awake, it is staring you in the face.

Every day that you do not seek a different direction, workable solution, or an expanded action depending on the current situation, is one day lost that could rid you of negative thinking and a loss of self-esteem. Doing the same things over and over and expecting different results borders on absurdity. You must realize that your decision to take action or literally “stick your head in the sand” will determine whether you “live to fight another day” or simply fade away into obscurity.

So, find the “grit” you need to tough it out. If one door is closed, find another or build a new one. No problem is too great nor situation too dire that a workable solution cannot be found. You simply must invest the time to think through the matter, arrive at a workable solution and then take the action to bring your solution into reality. Deep within yourself lies the answer. You can make it happen!
