The Power of Perseverance: Lessons from Grit by Angela Duckworth

Success isn’t just about talent—it’s about passion, perseverance, and the willingness to keep going, even when things get hard. In Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, psychologist Angela Duckworth reminds us that resilience, not just raw ability, is what truly drives long-term success.

As we watch March Madness, we see this play out in real-time—underdog teams defying the odds, players bouncing back from mistakes, and athletes pushing through adversity. But grit isn’t just for sports.

We all face challenges—balancing work and personal life, navigating tough transitions, or simply showing up for ourselves on hard days. Resilience is what carries us through. Just like athletes push through setbacks on the court, we can build the strength to keep moving forward, no matter what life throws our way.

At Ever Human Therapy, we believe in the power of perseverance—not as a demand to "push through" at all costs, but as a reminder that you are capable, you are growing, and you are not alone in the process.

How have you seen grit show up in your own life? Let’s talk about it.
