Difficulty Exposes Character

We all have character. Good, bad, flawed, or some gradient mixture of multiple traits mixed together. However, through our life experience, our choices and our upbringing we build a character.

What will you lean on when push comes to shove? What are you made of?

I have an idea. Do something really hard and find out!
