Okay so today, our real talk topic is Grace over Grind.  Let me just say this topic has been all up in my business for some time now. Seriously and the last year or so the theme has really been served as a constant reminder of the importance of keeping things in perspective. Why because I’ve been guilty of doing more grinding than operating in God’s grace.

We all can agree that hustle or grind both have been very popular themes for decades now. Of course, it’s more prominent in the realm of business and entrepreneurship and some would argue that it is the hustle and grind mindset is what separates the haves and have nots. I think that it can be applied in any setting.. think about it. As we dive deeper and you get a clear understanding of what words are synonymous with hustle and grind. You’ll be able to look across areas of your life and say..yeah now that makes sense.

Right the hustle and grind mindset is one that we can so easily get caught up in because it can also serve as motivation. Depending on your personality type..for those who are Type A, grinding is what you do. No, if and or buts about it. When you finish with one task, you’re off to the next. For others, you see the grinders and you think well dern. I’m motivated..I need to get my hustle/grind on.  We see the expressions on t-shirts, coffee mugs, all over the internet, and social media is always encouraging us to hustle and grind.  We can get knee-deep in the hustle of things and knee-deep in the grind of things that we lose perspective. Sometimes we can be so focused that we lose focus.…

What do you think when you hear these phrases..

I’m on my grind

Good things happen to those who hustle

The dream is free. The hustle is sold separately

“I’d rather hustle 24/7 than slave 9 to 5

Grind in silence and let your success make the noise

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

Then we have the faith-based versions.

Wake. Pray. Slay

Eat. Pray. Hustle

Hustle for Jesus

God. Goals. Grind.

Most all of which, I’ve used myself.  Lol! I’m not going to even lie to you. I can’t tell you how many times my response to a How you doing today…with just over here grinding. LOL! These phrases are all catchy, trendy, they get you motivated, hyped up, and energized. Just saying them, I’m pumped and ready to go get it. RIGHT!!
