Be Your Best at Your Worst

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

It's easy to be your best when everything is going right. The harder question is what you do when it isn't. Josh Waitzkin put it this way. "The grit that matters most is learning to be your best when you're at your worst." Elite performers aren't wired differently. They've just trained themselves to respond with grit and grace when things fall apart, instead of erupting. Today's episode is about making that your job too.
