Do you have what it takes to keep moving forward to achieve the life of your wildest dreams (and trust me, your dream doesn't have to be about money)?
What does it take to achieve your goals?
I used to believe, people with my skin color had no fighting chance. That, no matter what, the deck was stacked against us (especially African American males).
I used to believe, it was a college education.
I used to believe it was IQ.
Now...
Now I believe it comes down to putting in the work, regardless your station in life.
Now I believe, it comes down to learning and expanding beyond your current level of understanding. For example, I believe, if you have a scarcity mindset of being poor, then, even if you won the state lottery, it would not matter how much money you now have, because your mindset has not grown, changed expanded.
Although Angela Lee Duckworth's TED Talk is about school-age kids, her message is to all of us. Put in the work. Use grit to get to the next rung in your journey. This is about passion and perseverance.
