12.2 Angela Duckworth: Enthusiasm and Endurance
Do you have the stamina and endurance to keep going when the enthusiasm wears off?
Angela Duckworth is a psychologist who studies what helps people persist when their path gets hard. She’s best known for her research on grit — the idea that passion and perseverance can help you do whatever you want to do.
She once said, “Enthusiasm is rare. Endurance is contagious.”
Nothing feels better than a rush of motivation except steady, consistent, discipline.
Great things are achieved when you have a healthy combination of ambition and endurance that is fueled by big dreams and a commitment to showing up ready and doing your job with integrity and excellence.
Enthusiasm gets you moving. Endurance keeps you moving.
Have goals that get you going, and have the character to keep going.
Question of the Day: How can you build the kind of endurance that keeps you going when the endurance fades away?
