How a chance encounter reminded me that there is no Vision too big, no Mindset too strong, and no Grit too tough to accomplish things you never thought possible.
The Power of Vision, Mindset, and Grit: A Flight of Inspiration
On a recent flight to New York for a JP Morgan conference, I met Marisa, a young woman whose story is a living testament to the transformative power of Vision, Mindset, and Grit. What started as casual conversation quickly became an inspiring narrative that stayed with me long after the flight had landed.
Vision: Seeing Beyond the Present
Marisa and her twin sister once worked at a spa, but they dreamed of something greater—something uniquely their own. Their vision was bold: to create a spa experience that transcended the ordinary, offering not just services but a sanctuary. Without waiting for the elusive “perfect time,” they acted on their dream. That clarity of purpose became their north star.
Mindset: Cultivating Resilience
Having a vision is just the start. Marisa and her sister paired their dream with a mindset focused on perseverance and growth. They knew challenges would come—and they did—but they chose to view obstacles as opportunities to learn and grow. Their mindset wasn’t just about survival; it was about building for the long haul.
Grit: Staying the Course
What truly brought their vision to life was grit—the determination to keep pushing even when the path wasn’t easy. Success didn’t happen overnight. It took long hours, relentless effort, and a belief in their purpose to turn that dream into reality. Today, with thriving spa locations in both Miami and New York, their story is a testament to the power of persistence.
As I left that flight, I couldn’t help but feel inspired. Marisa’s journey is a powerful reminder that with Vision, Mindset, and Grit, no goal is out of reach. Whether you’re starting a new chapter or staying the course in your current one, these principles can guide you toward something extraordinary.
Dare to dream. Cultivate the mindset to pursue it. And when the road gets tough, let your grit carry you through. That’s how dreams transform into reality.
