When Your Mettle Gets Tested


Heard this many times:  THAT the true character of a person will surface WHEN faced with the most difficult challenges.  WHY?  Because it is easy enough to do good things WHEN everything is a-OK!  It's even easier to perform WHEN you're NOT tired OR NOT in pain.  BUT hold on.  WHEN things start to go sideways, that is the moment WHEN the real test starts.  WHEN we start feeling tired OR in pain OR in confusion, that is WHERE the test of character starts to happen.  WHEN we develop our attitude first, it will allow us to build and develop a much stronger core in life.  Till to date, WHEN I observe kids in different neighborhoods, the conventional thinking is that those kids coming from the impoverished villages are much tougher WHEN compared to the pampered kids from the middle tier and upwards.  Point here is that, regardless of your social standing,  When Your Mettle Gets Tested, that is just inevitable๐Ÿ“—๐Ÿ“™๐Ÿ“˜

WHICH means, this all boils down to the very foundations of our life.  That foundation will allow us to thrive through the multiple recurrences of those turbulences in life.  YES, we will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, eventually.  BUT those well-tested with hardened core in life will get to see that light at the end of the tunnel much earlier than the rest of the pack, those WHO are like 'eating the dust' in the rat race๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง

For clarity, it is true that a better and stronger core will NOT guarantee that one will NOT face the difficulties OR challenges in life [because everyone has to go through the wringer anyway].  The difference lies on the fact that a better and stronger core and character will allow one to grow through it and see those things as an opportunity to harness and have a better self๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ

As the old cliche goes, 'ATTITUDE FIRST, THEN THE REST WILL FOLLOW'.  Studies have proven that developing one's skills and enhancing character will follow suit once one's attitude has been framed in the right path.  And YES, to quote the experts, there are multiple ways and paths to develop our attitude.  And we can start by gathering information from the success stories of people who have gone through those paths.  HOW?  Just one too many self-helps these days, even from the web๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Our takeaway:  The way to go does NOT have an off-the-shelf solution.  You just CAN'T open the cupboard and voila, you got the FIX, really?Reading, listening, watching.  And yes, you can tap ChatGPT to get help from AI how you can FIX the chinks in your armor because that's the only option for your taking [UNLESS one is a 'willing victim' of losing by default in life].  THAT'S WHEN YOUR METTLE GETS TESTED❗❗❗
