TM: Grit is . . .

Today's Motivation (TM) asks . . .

Wouldn't it be be great if we all had a bit more grit?

That is because the world is a uglier mess then we would like, but that then means that each of us has an opportunity to be a part of the solution that we need not only here – but across the world. And I'll start with the Ukrainians who are fighting to save their country as best they can against the Russian military invading their country. Yes they are fighting against a super power aggressor country and they doing more than just about anyone would have thought. That is grit, that is determination,

that is love for their country and their fellow citizens. Which is a great example for us all. That being . . . the fight against evil starts with grit. And the follow up . . . is it within you?

If it is – that is fantastic. If not, know this – you can change and grasp it as well. The words

shared give an insight as to what grit is. And as to the why have it? Life is tough and can be managed if you have grit. And if you look at all the people who have contributed to society in one way or another, they had grit (and that is what we need to see more and more of).

So please, join Team Good, the ones who are heads down, fighting through the challenges in their life and contributing to our communities and the broader world. You'll be glad that you did and we are also glad to have you on the team. And remember this . . .

-James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
