SESSION FIVE:

Growth + Courage

Success is never owned;
it is only rented – and the rent is due every day.

RORY VADEN

THOUGHT PATTERN IDENTIFICATION + INTERRUPTION (T.P.I.I.):
Identity + Impact (who + why + how), Mental + Emotional Regulation, Gratitude + Acknowledgement, Self-Compassion + Forgiveness

GROWTH MINDSET:
The belief that you have the capacity to get better, and the interest to do so.
First Secret Ingredient: “Yet”
Second Secret Ingredient: Praise process, not intelligence/outcome.

PROCESS:
Did I apply – Effort?
Do I have a – Strategy?
Am I aware of / celebrating my – Progress?

GRIT:
If YOUR VISION is met with AN OBSTACLE, tears may be shed,
but soon enough another OPTION is identified and pursued.
In other words, in a gritty individual’s domain of passionate interest,
goals or actions deemed unfeasible are met with the response of an active search
for—or even invention of—viable alternatives.

Grit = Passion + Resiliency (Perseverance)
