This ties directly to Grit as Grit is having the dedication to stay on a task even when obstacles exist. We must see discouragement as temporary.

I frequently self-reflect and remind others to be careful of what they say because it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This ties directly to mindset. You are what you think, and you become what you say. This is a reminder to carefully choose your words, whether they are spoken to yourself or others.]]> 2018-02-15 19:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/thehill/differencemaker/wish/232114303 https://padlet.com/thehill/differencemaker/wish/232114365 "Ninety percent of those who fail are not actually defeated. They simply quit." ~ Paul J. Meyer
When we become discouraged, and we will, how we respond will dictate the outcome. Our grit will allow us to effectively deal with discouragement in our daily life. It is temporary and we can bounce back depending on the grit we are willing to find within ourselves. ]]> 2018-02-15 19:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/thehill/differencemaker/wish/232114365 https://padlet.com/thehill/differencemaker/wish/232125907 PERSISTENCE is...key!
