You may need to change your methods as you learn and grow, but stick to your plans and goals. Your long-term goals will not happen overnight, Grit is the power of perseverance.

2. Patience: Patience means good natured tolerance of delay. They words here are “good natured”. Patience typically has to go hand in hand with perseverance. If you persist without patience you can ruin your good spirits when the road get rough. Patience without perseverance can lead to complacency. You do not want to spend your life just waiting for things to happen with no action plan. While you wait, work on your goals. Remember that some things just take time. You cannot get a baby in one month by making 9 women pregnant. Play the long game.

3. Passion: Passion means an intense desire or enthusiasm for something. Pas-sion is what keeps the fire in your perseverance. Without passion, perseverance becomes drudgery, and patience becomes boredom. Since passion is enthusi-asm, how do you stay enthusiastic?
