Grit How to keep going whe ypu want to give up pdfdrive com

Epilogue
I wrote this book with one goal in mind – to help you understand what affects
persistence and how to become a grittier person. If my book helped you push
through the obstacles and overcome the short-term feeling of discouragement, I
consider my job done.
Please don’t discount the importance of the first chapter, though. Persistence
is deemed the most important quality of successful people, yet the key is to
apply the power of your grit to the things that are right in your unique situation.
There have been many times in my life where I followed the wrong path. By
giving up things that weren’t right for me, I gained more time and energy to
focus on the things that were right to me.
That’s why I started this book talking about when to quit. As Richard Koch
points out in his book “Living the 80/20 Way,” if you go for the right activities,
you can work effortlessly and achieve a great deal.
If you’ve already discovered the right things for you, I hope the advice I
shared with you in this book will serve you for the rest of your life.
The crucial things to remember:
1. Utilize the power of routines to make your behaviors automated. The less
resistance you feel to work on your goals, the less likely you are to give up.
2. Work on your mental toughness by making yourself uncomfortable.
3. Focus on the results and don’t disregard the power of proper rest. Even the
top performers don’t practice for more than four and a half hour a day.
4. Identify how you sabotage yourself and learn how to deal with these
behaviors.
5. Become a more resilient person by learning how to adapt to changes and
solving problems.
6. Be relentless. Use the five techniques mentioned in Chapter 7 to stick to
your goals.
7. Become aware of the most common mistakes people make when working
on their goals and avoid them in your life.
