Welcome to the 81st episode of Giving Back Insights, my Thursday solo show where I talk about how our guests and their charities serve others, to explore actions each of can take to make a difference in people's lives and to share. Today I'm discussing Resilience, aka GRIT. Listen to today's episode and don't forget to give your feedback and valuable comment. Enjoy!

Key Takeaways:

Today's cover, you are seeing is a great illustration. It's all about the "Success".

What people think success is? And how you get there?

So it's a great way to look from a different perspective/ retrospect.

According to Angela Duckworth, a researcher, a MacArthur Fellowship winner and with a TEDtalk with over 8 million views, grit is "perseverance and passion for long-term goals."

My son Tyler mentioned this Henry Ford quote, "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." Mindset is a key factor to success.

Failure is not a state, it is a definition

Craig Noonan: was 500+ lbs, really changed his whole life. He asked me for some examples of resilient individuals for the podcast he's planning on resilience.

It is really inspiring, that he is sharing his own story and telling people it was not easy. There were many major setbacks.

David Dachinger & Tamara Green of Loving Meditations, - Cancer is a love story.

Lindsay Johnson of Anchor 180 - How does someone grow such Resilience!

Jacquie Johnston-Lynch of Tom Harrison House - The power to lift others, overcoming her own pain, recovery and healing and coming back into society.

Tamara & Martha from Chemo Buddies 4 Life - Overcoming some incredible adversity.

So many people don't have a growth environment. Just remember it's not a failure, it's lesson.

I love America. Happy Independence day!

Remember: Always err on the side of love & kindness.

Love & Gratitude,

Rob
