To have grit is to have the courage and resolve to face anything.
Some people may say, “it is to have the strength of character”.
The question I ask is, “how gritty are you”?

Do you easily crack?
Don’t you easily give up?
Do you consider your talents to be just enough to get you anywhere in life?
Are you the type of person that never stops in their tracks of learning?

Do you like short-term goals?
Do you like long-term goals?
Do you like goals in general?
Are you having any goals now?

Do you even want to live with grit?
Has life forced you to be insistent on what you want?

Hhhmmm,
How gritty are you, I ask again.
I would say I am definitely extremely gritty. I’ve been through a lot, and I’m still here, pushing through everything.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I’m a fairly gritty person, in general, but I know others who have much more grit than me. I have goals, I like to set them, and strive to reach them. But I also know I don’t go above-and-beyond like some people do.
🙏🏽👏🏿
Your article explores the concept of grit in a relatable and engaging way. It’s a reminder that challenges and setbacks are part of the journey, and it’s our determination that makes the difference.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I’d say I’m pretty gritty. I get knocked down in life, but I always get back up, dust myself off, and try harder.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I have worked so hard for everything in my life. It goes to show that grit pays off!
🙏🏽👍
I love the meaning behind grit, with its means having the courage and resolve to face anything, and it’s true. Being a grit is a good thing in this case!!
🙏🏽👍
What a great post! Sometimes we forget how far we’ve come and this definitely reminds me of the hard work that has come before. I think it’s important to have grit because there’s always challenges and in my experience resilience and persistence is important.

I know I could definitely be grittier haha. It’s definitely a good quality to have!
❤️👍
LOVE this post!! Yes, I’m deffo gritty and more so as I have got older you have to be. That said at the same time I like to be kind and empathetic, it’s just about balance x
🙏🏽👍
I think I’m in the middle. I’m the type of person who keeps pushing through even in hard times and always setting goals.
❤️👏🏿
I’d say I’m pretty damn gritty. I went from working as a vet assistant and barely keeping my house to being a successful Virtual Assistant. It wasn’t easy, but I did it.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I’ve not heard this term in a while. I can definitely say I have grit when I need to, I can be extremely persistent if and when it’s required.
🙏🏽👍
I have grit. But more so, I have learned to trust in God. My faith is absolutely what guides me. My grit attitude has gotten me to the point where I have become overwhelmed with doing.
🙏🏽👍
If I answer all your questions and look at the charts I’d have to admit I’m not as ‘gritty’ as I would like to be. But…I have more grit than I had 5 years ago and I hope I have even more 5 years from now!
🙏🏽👍
I love the breakdown of grittiness that you’ve provided! Personally, I like to think that I have a lot of grit (sometimes a bit to a fault, perhaps). I hope to find the perfect balance in life!
🙏🏽👍
So many great words that put together a solid person! This really is true!
👏🏿👍
Ooh, this made me think for sure. I wish I was gritty all the time but it depends on the circumstance. Sometimes I’m too nice or too forgiving and put up with more than I should.
👍🙏🏽
Hmm I would say it depends on the situation, sometimes moderate and sometimes my grit would be higher.
🙏🏽👍
I haven’t heard this about GRIT before. So interesting! I do like making plans – following through is sometimes hard, though.
🙏🏽👍
This is an interesting term, I think I consider my with high level of Gritty because I do not care and face them lol.
👏🏿🙏🏽
I have a folder where I put all my achievements and some failures over the years. I always look through it to see how far I have come and damn, I’m still growing. I’m at the highest peak of Gritt at this point.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Is there such a thing as medium gritty? That would probably be me to be honest hahaha
🙏🏽👏🏿
Your piece on grit struck a chord. The engine analogy? Spot on! It’s got me thinking about facing challenges head-on. Your practical tips are doable and inspiring.
👏🏿🙏🏽
I’ve never heard of this before. It seems like a useful tool to help people.
👍🙏🏽
So I can be a bit of a wimp at times. I would love to be ‘grittier’ and more bold.
I’ve been through a lot & have dealt with a lot through out my lift that has made me stronger, so I’d say I am pretty gritty.
Thank you for sharing this article with us. I really enjoyed reading it.
👍🙏🏽
It’s my first time knowing about GRIT but it’s interesting to learn more about this.
🙏🏽👍
Such an interesting concept and I have to take a minute to think if I do have grit. I’m sure that it would serve useful especially with the things I’m dealing with right now.
