09 - Difficult

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. You might get a weird feeling in your stomach when you think about difficult situations and tasks because difficulty can be uncomfortable. Difficulty makes me want to quit, and many times I have; probably more quitting than was beneficial. Angela Duckworth, the fairy godmother of grit, says, “Enthusiasm is common; endurance is rare.” Today’s concrete challenge is to try one hard thing. I’ve been chipping away at learning the Rubik’s cube for the past year and a half, and it’s a great combination of memorization and coordination. What’s your one hard thing that you want to try? Pick something that you won’t let yourself quit when it becomes truly difficult. Let me know what you chose at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
