on the grind

staying "on the grind" means to work hard, always be hustling, or otherwise engaged in money-making or woman-procuring activities.

people who were once poor and become wealthy might then become lazy and indolent and spend all day in champagne-filled jacuzzis whereas other newly-successful people might continue to work hard, thus "staying on the grind"

there are many examples from 50 Cent's latest release, "the Massacre", but i'll offer up two:

excerpt from "God gave me style":

A O.G. told me God's favorites have a hard time
You out the hood, that's good now stay on the grind


Chorus from "Bitch get in my car":

I got no pickup lines
I stay on the grind
I tell the hoes all the time
Bitch get in my car (Bitch get in)
I got my 64, ridin' on Dayton spokes
And when I open that do'
Bitch get in my car

Grind

Your work-ethic...how hard you work in school, at the job, etc...

Stay on your grind. (meaning: keep up the hard work, keep focused, stay on point)

How hard do you grind? (meaning: how hard do you work at something....)

grindfulness

Grind·ful·ness
ˈgrīn(d)f(ə)lnəs/

The dope state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the task at hand, while never letting the stress of the grind slow you down.

Being aware of one’s emotions, feelings, thoughts, tingles and pains all while being fully aware of the task at hand and working as effectively as possible.

Ex. He was in a state of grindfulness all day, every stressful task was completed, and he remained calm and optimistic all day.

Ex. Johnny was laser focused on coding his new site, but in his state of grindfulness, he still managed to pause to help Suzy, as he noticed she was visibly stressed out.

Ex. Grindfulness lead me to appreciate a butterfly for 15 seconds, in the middle of typing up a report for 1 and a half hours.

Grind

When an individual pushes his/herself to attain a goal.

Similar to gears grinding when they are worked beyond their capacity.

"I've been on the grind lately trying to pay these bills."
