“The hardest times of our lives are often the ones that really shape us. We don’t want life to be hard all of the time, but we do need it to be hard some of the time. Without those knocks, we don’t grow as people, develop the confidence that is born of resilience, or prepare ourselves to tackle the most important challenges of our life. What’s more, the “hard things” are often so much more difficult in our minds than in reality. The longer we build these things up, the more intimidating the prospect of them becomes. Whereas if we force ourselves to tackle them, we usually discover that our fears were misplaced.”
