697: No Grit, No Pearl
Update: 2025-08-13
Description
In this inspiring episode of the High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explores how grit is the foundation for achieving your biggest goals and dreams.
She shares the powerful metaphor of the pearl—how something rare and valuable begins with irritation. Just like a pearl forms when an oyster transforms a piece of grit over time, our greatest achievements come from leaning into challenges and staying committed through discomfort.
You'll also learn practical ways to strengthen your grit muscle, such as committing to one challenging action every day, surrounding yourself with people who push you, and focusing on deliberate—not just repetitive—practice.
This Week's Power Phrase: "I am gritty. I do the things others won't to achieve the things others can't. I put in the hours necessary for success."
Quote of the Week: "Grit is not just having resilience in the face of failure, but also having deep commitments that you remain loyal to over many years." — Angela Duckworth
Tune in to discover how to develop the grit you need to create your own "pearl"—the legacy, dream, or goal you're deeply committed to achieving.
