Introduction

Most of us are very familiar with adversity, and the challenge of trying to not only survive in the face of it but to actually thrive despite the difficulties that we face.

From time to time, we all experience situations that are challenging, but finding ways to overcome those challenges by developing strength couldn’t be more important if we want to enjoy the best possible success in life.

Relentless drive is the answer. When we can find ways of boosting our ability to cope, even if nothing is going our way, we can become unstoppable. Grit and resilience lie at the heart of this. Persistence, perseverance, and perspective are all essential when we want to move forward in strength and success.

So, what are grit and resilience? And how can their power be harnessed to create the relentless drive that we need to thrive? In this book, we take a closer look at the importance of these things in our lives and examine how we can begin to develop them and hone them into a weapon that we can then use to our best advantage.

When we know how grit and resilience can help us in different areas of our lives, and we know how we can foster those skills and put them into practice, we can stand the best chance of success both in our personal lives and in the workplace.

Chapter 1: Grit, Resilience, and the Growth Mindset – A Key Trio There are two different mindsets that we can experience – fixed or growth. The fixed mindset involves believing that your qualities cannot be changed and are set in stone. Meanwhile, the growth mindset involves believing that you can cultivate your own basic qualities through your own efforts. Often, individuals have a fixed mindset about one aspect of their lives but have a growth mindset about another. Maybe you’ve always thought you were bad at math and believed that others were born with an innate ability to calculate. However, you are confident about your musical talent and seek opportunities to showcase it as often as you can. You believe that it’s a skill you can develop over time with practice. Every time you show off your talent and get positive feedback, you use it to improve. You’re motivated to carry on practicing and perfecting your abilities.

With this in mind, it’s easy to see why having a fixed mindset holds you back, preventing you from taking opportunities that are presented to you. But, how can a growth mindset be developed? The answers lie in grit and resilience. These three things work together to form a key trio that sets you up to overcome adversity and achieve success in your life.

Gaining Perspective for Growth Increases Resilience

When you exhibit resilience, you can step back from challenging situations, accepting their negative elements while finding meaning and opportunity, even in the middle of adversity. When you find opportunities, you strive harder, set more ambitious goals and take the necessary actions to achieve those goals. Perspective plays a major role in this. When you look at things from a more positive standpoint, your resilience can be greatly increased. Let’s take a look at why. When you take a positive perspective, your choice options expand exponentially. You become empowered rather than disabled. You can begin to focus your efforts on the things that you’re able to change while accepting those that you cannot. With a positive perspective, you naturally become more resilient because of your acceptance of negativity. When you accept that bad things happen and sometimes there’s nothing you can do to change them, but that instead, you can harness your own potential to change those things that are possible to alter yourself, you are given the power to improve your life.

You become more able to cope with problems and overcome adversity because you understand that you are the one thing in life you can control, and when you’re able to take control over any aspect of your life you can take action to improve your circumstances. Meanwhile, being able to accept the things you can’t change without frustration, anger or fear allows you to be more at peace with the challenging elements of your life.

Confidence and Motivation Boost Grit for Growth

Everyone stumbles occasionally on the path to success, and that means you’ll need at some point to get back up again and back in the saddle. So, how can you find the strength to do this? The answer is by developing resilience and grit for growth. Unforeseen surprises and shocks are a fact of life, but if you can maintain your integrity and core purpose even in the face of those unpleasant experiences, you can overcome adversity most effectively. Grit for growth lies at the center of this.

Grit for growth is a dynamic blend of confidence and motivation. These two things work together to empower you to regulate your emotions and reappraise the situations in which you find yourself. When you believe you can find a meaningful purpose in your life, believe you can influence your own environment and the outcome of events that affect you, and believe that both negative and positive experiences alike can lead to growth and learning, you can develop the kind of grit that leads to resilience. With resilience and grit, you can move forward and persevere, whatever obstacles you’re facing in life. You can begin to believe the saying “everything will come out right in the end, and if everything isn’t right, it isn’t the end.”

5 Steps to Developing a Growth Mindset for Relentless Drive

Are you ready to develop a growth mindset so you can have the relentless drive you need to succeed? Then here are five steps for you to follow:

1. Focus on your choice of language. This works whether you’re trying to boost someone else’s growth mindset or your own. When you praise yourself or another person for a strength or characteristic, make sure you use words that emphasize a growth mindset. Instead of thinking or saying, “you’re so smart” or “you’re so flexible”, instead, praise for strategy or effort.

Telling yourself you’re intelligent fosters the fixed mindset. Telling yourself that you’ve put in a lot of effort and used strategy to your advantage fosters resilience. It reminds you that you have a key role to play when it comes to achieving a successful solution to your problems.

2. Surround yourself with positivity. Thoughts become reality. Although you can’t choose everyone you interact with every day, you can spend time with certain people intentionally. When you create an environment of positive thinking, growth mindset becomes the norm. You start to see view everything around you as supporting you instead of thwarting your efforts.

3. Adopt flexible patterns of thinking. If you become less rigid in your actions and thoughts, grit and resilience can blossom. Flexible people never see problems.
