The time, effort, and sacrifice you put into your work - what is the value of that? Can you quantify it in a dollar amount? Can you quantify it into any measurable unit?I don’t think you can.Perhaps each of us have a currency that is unique to us. Perhaps that currency is a chapter of a story that we’re hoping to tell ourselves about ourselves. If that’s the case, then what’s the actual story we’re telling ourselves?Let’s stick it out?Leaping without a net is a bad idea?The promotion is the key to making it matter?If I can just hang on with this person longer, they’ll change… I know they can.The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are powerful.So powerful that they likely impact our decision making ability.Grit - sticking it out until the end at all costs - isn’t healthy.Knowing who you seek to serve and serving them - and not letting anything keep you from that cause - that kind of grit - that’s the grit that matters.That’s living the good life.
