"A Navy SEAL Explains 8 Secrets To Grit And Resilience" This article is SO quotable!
Had to share for some inspiration. Posting bits here, but I recommend reading the article in full! It combines research and thoughts on the topic of RESILIENCE. In summary, the article covers: "So what can the SEALs and research teach you about getting through life’s tough times? Here we go." Some gems: PURPOSE " Grit often comes from a place of deep purpose and personal meaning." Tasks need to have purpose, as they note: "our brains always give in long before our body does."

CONFIDENCE "Research has shown that hope and despair can be self-fulfilling prophecies. (For the three things you can learn about fearlessness from Special Ops and Navy SEALs, click here.)"

And so you quit.When you take the perspective that everything is a learning experience, there are no winners or losers. And you just keep getting better."

HUMOR "There’s something about when you’re facing a really crummy situation, to look over at your friend and see him smile. It tells you, “Alright, I’m going to be fine. We’re going to be fine and it’s all going to work out.”" Read the full article here: https://www.bakadesuyo.com/2015/01/grit/ What parts of this stand out most to you? Let me know in the comments!
