Growth comes out of the cauldron of adversity.

We can not develop resilience, ‘mental toughness’ nor can we refine grit without the uncomfortable immersion in adversity. Sometimes we can choose the challenge. Sometimes the challenge chooses us.

Mental toughness, grit and resilience are attributes that come through refinement and practice.

Willingness is crucial - getting uncomfortable does not mean necessarily physically uncomfortable - although that may be part of it, but emotionally uncomfortable. Dive in then move forward!
