Mental toughness, resilience and grit are required to navigate the winding roads of life and enjoy the journey along the way. Keeping momentum with forward motion, getting up again and again and embracing a growth mindset are the fuel to finish strong.

In Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth summarizes “grit” as passion and perseverance for very long-term goals, having stamina, sticking with your future, day in, day out, for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint. You can grow your grit by cultivating your interests, committing to the daily habit of practice, connecting with a purpose beyond yourself and embracing hope to provide the inspiration to keep going.
