Step BACK To Step FORWARD

Step BACK To Step FORWARD

In Malaysia's NEW STRAITS TIMES, the banner story was indeed impactful:  SINGAPORE PASSPORT MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD.  In the latest Henley Passport Index [conducted by Henley & Partners], it said that Singapore citizens are able to visit 192 out of 227 countries visa-free.  Oooops, do I regret then as I renounced my Singapore citizenship [many years back] to reacquire my PH citizenship?  No sirs, I took the Step BACK To Step FORWARD💴💵💷

No sirrrrs, there is not an iota of regret as we speak now even if my travels as a Singapore citizen is way behind me now.  WHY?  It's because I plotted my journey.  I knew where I want to end up.  And I knew how to go from Point A to Point B till I reach Point Z.  This is my concrete manifestation I can look back when I decided to Step BACK To Step FORWARD.  So, if one will ask me, what is/are the factors that made me confident enough [if NOT cocky] to make that life-changing decision?  I'll humbly admit it was the GRIT from within me that egged me to Step BACK To Step FORWARD📗📙📘

I remember stumbling across the question if people are born with GRIT?  And the ready answer coming from researches showed that GRIT is a question of NATURE and NURTURE, not one OR the other.  For people to develop GRIT, they need to cultivate a GROWTH mindset.  So allow me to admit now that that GROWTH mindset was the very catalyst of everything that triggered me to make that decision to Step BACK To Step FORWARD💎💎💎

BTW, many aspire to be 'GREATER' but how often do we hear people who aspire to be 'GRITTIER'?  Not much I guess.  So why GRIT?  GRIT is a passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals.  It is important because it's a KEY DRIVER of achievement and success.  and it is confirmed to be far MORE IMPORTANT than IQ and talent📌📌📌

So, how can we be 'GRITTIER'?  Numero uno, CLARIFY YOUR GOALS.  The 'grittiest' people are so damn crystal-clear about their ultimate goal[s] and even most of their smaller goals are aligned with that one big goal.  Segundo.  DISCOVER YOUR INTERESTS.  Never jump into the waters simply because you want to be 'GRITTIER'.  Interest is the source of our passion so ask yourself WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU. If you need to STEP BACK TO STEP FORWARD, go gurl, go dude✅✅✅
