    Grit and resilience are important for dealing with uncertainty and adversity. Grit is sustained effort toward long-term goals even when facing challenges, while resilience is the ability to adapt and recover from difficult situations. Together, grit provides the motivation to pursue goals, while resilience helps overcome obstacles along the way. Although natural, both qualities can be developed through strategies like accepting change, maintaining a support system, and focusing on strengths. Examples demonstrate that perseverance and resilience are often keys to success for high achievers.

    The importance of grit and resilience

    in times of uncertainty and adversity


    Grit and Resilience

    • Grit :
    • Grit is about sustained, consistent effort toward a long-term goal even when we struggle, falter, or
    temporarily fail.
    • Resilience :
    • Resilience is the process of being able to adapt well and bounce back quickly in times of stress.

    Grit is the engine that moves us toward our goal. Resilience is the oil that keeps the engine moving. 

    When we demonstrate grit, it is because we have had the resilience to push ourselves over, through,
    around, and sometimes under obstacles.
    Importance of Grit and Resilience

    • Grit is a driver of achievement and success. Without grit, talent may be nothing more than unmet
    potential.
