Transcript of How to Develop Grit When Everyone Else Quits
The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul AlexWelcome to the LevelUp podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together. Remember, I have your six. Get ready to LevelUp right now. Welcome back to the LevelUp podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and in three minutes, you'll learn a simple view of grit that last. When I was in a police academy, we ran until the sun felt angry, guys. It's funny I say that, right? People fell out one by one. I was close to tapping out as well. An older trainer looked at me and nodded, and he said nothing. I took one more breath, one more step. That day taught me the shape of grit. Look, grit is not loud. Grit is quiet and stubborn. Later, a business launch went sideways. Money was tight. My pride was hit. I felt that same edge. I started breathing. I took a breath and took the next honest step. When the storm passed and the lesson stayed, grit is love in motion when it's not fun.
Grit is faith that's effort that still matters. Grit is choosing progression over drama. This is not only for athletes or founders, guys. It's also for team leads, interns and parents, and nine to fivers. It is for anyone who wants a better life. You grow grit by telling the truth to yourself. You grow grit by keeping promises to yourself. You grow grit by walking through boring days with care. You don't need to roar. You need to return. Return to the work after a bad day. Return to your values after a bad choice. Return to your vision after a bad week. The world notices people who return. So do you? You start to trust yourself. You start to learn and like the person in the mirror. You start to fear less and attempt more. So what's the moral of the pod? Guys, grit is gentle. Persistence. Point it at a worthy a worthy goal.
