I took inspiration for today's show from a couple of articles I came across on the #1 predictor of success in life.

It must be:

INSPIRED BY VISION AND PURPOSE...FUELED BY OPTIMISM AND BELIEF...POWERED BY FAITH AND HOPE...POWERED BY FAITH AND HOPE...KEPT ALIVE BY STUBBORNNESS...AND IF WE'RE HONEST INCLUDES SOME FEAR OF FAILURE AND DESIRE TO PROVE YOURSELF...

That "IT" factor that drives success.....GRIT!!

Here's 8 skills you can develop to create your own GRIT:

1. Start first with fore thought.
2. Reflect on all the positive and negative consequences of a plan.
3. Keep your word.
4. Follow-up and follow-through.
5. Take calculated risks.
6. Be sure to establish a daily routine.
7. Evaluate every plan.
8. If you fail, get back up and try again.
