The speaker argues that grit matters only when your sacrifices still feel worth it. If the cost in money, time, relationships, health, or sleep no longer matches the benefit, that's your signal to quit and try something else.
The whole debate, you must never quit. You have to have grit. It's like you have to know when to quit, but like when's the right time to quit? And this whole idea of quitting versus not quitting and grit versus not grit, it's the wrong conversation. Interesting. It's completely wrong. The conversation we should be having is when the sacrifice no longer feels worth it, that's when you decide to change directions or to leave whatever it is you're doing. Because the sacrifice has to feel worth it. However you want to weigh that cost, whether it's money, time, relationships, health, I mean, however you want to weigh it, sleep, right? If it feels worth it for the benefit that you're deriving or the impact you're making, then you stick with it. That's the grit part. But when the sacrifice no longer feels worth it, then it's time Reconsider?
