Grit Scale

I have been thinking a lot about the word

"Motivation"

lately.

Wondering if I have the

"Grit"

to persevere in whatever endeavors I decide to tackle each day.

I have listened to podcasts on the subject

and have used my library's three different apps to either listen to audio books

or read a book online on the subject.

I have found a non-scientific but fun little test you can take which compares you to others who have taken it.

According to my test,

I scored higher than 40% of American adults in a recent study.

It is on

Angela Duckworth's Website

where you can also find ways to purchase her book;

Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance.

Angela Duckworth is the founder

and CEO of Character Lab,

a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive.

I like her already.

“Confidence gets you off to a fast start. Confidence gets you that first job and maybe the next two promotions. But confidence stops you from learning. Confidence becomes a caricature after a while. I can't tell you how many confident blowhards I've seen in my coaching career who never get better after the age of forty."

- Bill Walsh -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
