A person can choose to be positive or negative. Rather than letting the mind control him/her, the person could focus his/her thoughts and attention where he/she wanted them to be. As the fog clears, the person realizes the amount of freedom and self‐control he/she can gain. Our life is a reflection of our own beliefs and choices, and often we do not even realize that we are making choices. Sadly, it usually takes tragedies, near‐death experiences, getting fired, or other forms of loss to wake us up. Practicing GRIT‐generosity, respect, integrity, and truth‐will enable us to focus on the right issues, develop ourselves and our teams, and create more with less. We might not have much control over the direction of the marketplace, but we can make a big impact with the way we lead.
