About the episode

During this episode, hosted by Lu Ngo, Anthony discussed how to stay focused and not give up, even when obstacles arise.

To start, Anthony discussed what well-being means to him. He said it’s more than just looking good on the outside. Instead, it’s about having a healthy mind and spirit. He said that true well-being comes from within, from your strength and determination.

The episode also talked about how having mentors, role models, or people who hold you accountable can help you develop grit. It’s like surrounding yourself with others who’ve faced similar challenges and kept going. Anthony also talked about how having a growth mindset – being open to learning and growing – is important for overcoming difficulties and not giving up. He said that seeking help and looking at things from different angles can make a big difference too.

To build up grit, Anthony suggests doing things like writing in a journal, meditating, staying active, and talking with a counselor. As he mentioned, counseling can be a great tool for personal growth and coping with tough situations. The frequency and timing of your sessions depend on what works best for you.

In conclusion

Developing perseverance, inner strength, finding support, and keeping a balanced approach remind us that true well-being and grit start from within. By not giving up and staying focused on your goals, you can take on challenges and create a positive impact on your journey.
