The latest research says that the amount of grit you have is the clearest indicator of how successful you will become. What is grit? In the Oxford dictionary, grit is defined as "courage and resolve; strength of character". I believe one of my heroes, Ernest Shackleton, the explorer is a great example of this, saving his crew on one of his expeditions. Angela Duckworth who is the leading expert on grit defines it as: "working strenuously toward challenges, maintaining effort and interest over the years despite failures, adversity, and plateaus in progress.” I believe that just as you can train a muscle to get stronger when you consistently use it, the same is true of grit. I've also found that you need to have a strong WHY, which is the foundation of grit. Grit increases when you are really clear on why you are working hard. Also, you need to regularly do things that are challenging for you - things which are slightly out of reach, but that you can achieve if you really put in the work. This could be doing a challenging workout, learning something right at the edge of your current knowledge or working at some kind of challenging puzzle or a skill you want to develop.
