“If you meditate earnestly, through spiritual disciplines you can make an island for yourself that no flood can overwhelm.”
— From the Dhammapada (Buddhist)

THIS WEEK’S LESSON

Grit

Today’s Excerpt:

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Make a plan for sticking to something using these simple sentence stems:

  • “The hardest thing for me right now is …”
  • “One thing I’m going to stick with even when it’s hard is…”
  • “I can do hard things because…” (Possible answers: “because our family does hard things,” “because I enjoy the process,” “because I genuinely want to,” “because it feels good to stretch myself,” etc.)
