Have potential? So what. Have talent? So what. Have an advantage? So what. Smarter than most? So what. None of these things matter without Grit; the application of what you have and what you are, for as long as it takes.

To change a negative habit, we need to find an alternative routine to replace the habit that we no longer desire. That’s where having support from another can make all the difference we need to make a clean break and be successful at making a positive change within our own lives. Reach out to someone who’s doing successfully what you would like to be doing successfully and follow their routine as an alternative to yours. You may find that you become a community of two doing constructive and positive things together, while your negative habits become a thing of the past.
