Few things are as important for success in life as having grit.

But what exactly is grit?

Here’s how Angela Duckworth, psychologist and author of the book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, explains it:

“Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day-in, day-out. Not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years. And working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

In this post I’d like to share the best quotes from people around the world and throughout the centuries about the importance of grit and about how you can strengthen it in your own life.

Honesty.

Such an important but sometimes tough thing to stay true to.

It’s often easier to just tell a white or perhaps even darker lie. To skirt around how you really think and feel.

But even though it might be tough there is also so much to be gained from being more honest both with yourself and the people in your life:

• The more honest you can be with yourself the easier it will be to be who you deep down want to be but also to improve aspects of your life that are truly in need of that.
• The more honest you are with both yourself and others the more your self-respect, your relationships and your confidence in yourself will improve.
