Grit not grade…and ice cubes

Too often we place our emphasis on our goals. Goals are incredibly important but we should put more impetus on the grit it takes to progress toward the goal. And when we get close to a goal, we need to create new ones. Progress is key not the finish line.

“Complaining about not achieving success despite working hard is like complaining about an ice cube not melting when you heated it from twenty-five to thirty-one degrees. Your work is not wasted; it is just being stored. All the action happens at thirty-two degrees.” James Clear “Atomic Habits”
