capture it

A podcast that discusses the ideal characteristics that we all are inspired by and respect. There are people all around us that live life in a way that shows us they have truly captured something special in their character. How did they capture it? We will investigate how we all can capture valuable fundamentals of life by using the umbrellas of c.a.p.t.u.r.e-it to have these conversations under. The umbrellas of c.a.p.t.u.r.e-it represent courage, attitude, perspective, truth, uniqueness, recognition, and empathy. The "it" of c.a.p.t.u.r.e-it is a reminder that we should always be working "in-time" to continuously grow, build, and reinforce the traits we want for ourselves while developing into the person we are proud to be.

The Five Big Ideas Grit is about holding the same top-level goal for a very long time. (A top-level goal is your ultimate concern, a compass that gives direction and meaning to all the goals below it.)Paragons of grit have four psychological assets: (1) interest (2) practice (3) purpose (4) hope.Gritty people do more deliberate practice and experience more flow.For paragons of grit, the long days and evenings of toil, the setbacks and disappointments, and struggle, the sacrifice—all this is worth it because, ultimately, their efforts pay dividends to other people.Often, the critical gritty-or-not decisions we make are a matter of identity more than anything else.
