21. Grit: Because Your Goals Will Take More Than Talent

When we look at top athletes, musicians, and geniuses we tend to think that they got where they are because of talent and maybe a little determination. But did you know that talent has nothing to do with how far you’ll go in life? Today on The Unlimited Potential Show we dive into Grit: The Power Of Passion And Perseverance by Angela Duckworth. We talk about how you don’t need talent to achieve your goals in life and even how being talented in an area might actually harm you. Anybody has the power and ability to become who they are with one simple principle.  We discuss some of the top athletes from Michael Jordan to Michael Phelps and just what it took for them to become household names and even history makers in their industries. There is something across the board you can find within professional athletes, musicians, or scholars and that is how it all came from within themselves. They were able to dig deep and find the true grit of persevering despite all odds to take the top spot and become the best that they could possibly be.  The good news? You have that exact same ability within you.  So join us as we talk about what we believe are the two principles for success, how you can increase your own grit, deciding what you want to go for with unlimited potential and even some tips to increase your physical and mental self in everyday life. Your unlimited potential is right in front of you, if you will only be willing to face the hard stuff and push through.  For links to all the resources we listed in this show or to join our private Facebook community check out the links below!   More Of What We Cover  The cost of power without strong morals The #1 predictor of success  Why grit is more important than talent How focusing on talent keeps you from achieving greatness Why the biggest names are so successful What it takes to find the grit within yourself  The two principles needed for success Tips to increase your grit Developing talents to become the best that you can be How to push through fatigue and grow your mind Why fasting can help not only your body but your mind The power of meditation And much more!  LINKS:    Website: Spartan.com Website: https://joedesena.com/ Website: https://themobmuseum.org/ Website: https://www.navy.com/seals Watch The Goodfellas Watch The Godfather  Watch American Gangster Book: Grit: The Power Of Passion And Perseverance by Angela Duckworth Wikipedia Article: The Last Dance Wikipedia Article: Grant Hackett Website: https://us.michaelphelps.com/ Book: Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins Youtube: Casey Neistat Youtube: Make It Count Website: John Maxwell   Private Facebook Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/unlimitedpotentialpodcast  Personal Websites:  morrellfirm.com  ramcheruvu.wixsite.com/doctorram    Youtube Channel:  www.youtube.com/channel/UCtSIgawdfsNk0bk4Rwotz7w  Social Media:  www.linkedin.com/in/doctorram  https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-morrell  Episode Minute By Minute:    0:02 A look into today’s episode 0:55 Welcome back! 2:18 Learning from the villains  13:53 Topic of the day: Grit 14:12 The number one thing that dictates your success  15:51 Dr. Ram’s favorite thing about grit  26:37 The connection of  preparation and perseverance  31:38 You never know your true capacity  37:55 Building grit happens when no one is looking 46:05 Practical ways to build grit in your life 59:17 Final thoughts and best quotes from the book
