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.

The thing about going through difficulty or a challenging time is that this character comes out. It is unavoidable, as the pressure to perform or survive or make it increases, we have to lean on our core. Our 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!
