So yesterday I was listening to 702, 92.7 is the frequency. I was listening to the Aubrey Masango show. for the first time in my life I heard this word "Grit". It was my first time hearing this word and I was so far from the dictionary, I could not check it out. As they were busy talking I wanted to know how the word is spelt, because I wanted to do my own search and understand the meaning of this word. what does it mean.

I then stopped being obsessed on the name, I started to listen to the context, in which context is this word being placed. I learnt from the context that Grit is the ability to keep working on your long term goals, overcoming challenges and sticking to your goals even what is hard. I made sure that this morning I will wake up and explore this word on my own as it was my first time hearing about it.


This word has been stuck with me since yesterday because I believe this came at the very fitting time where the year is starting. We have goals, written our vision boards. But we have also experienced a lot of grief as individuals. So I do think that someone out there has already given up, can this word that I just shared with you keep you going. Be persistent and get to the bottom of whatever that seem to be taking strain on you.

Below I will share with you how you can grow you grit

  • Pursue your interest
  • Practice, get better everyday
  • Connect to a higher purpose, ask yourself how are you helping other people
  • Cultivate hope
  • Surround yourself with gritty people

These are the characteristics of Grit

  • Courage. When you think of courage you may think of physical bravery, but there are many other forms of courage.
  • Conscientiousness. Conscientiousness is defined as the personality trait of being thorough, careful, or vigilant

I hope that this small article will help you out, and also you ae going to learn to explore this word on your own.
