What is Mental Toughness?
Inspiration!
At our weekly Bible study class, the pastor asked us what qualities we admire in the people we meet. I eagerly shared that I am always inspired by individuals who teach us about hardship and perseverance.
Although we've never met in person, I find myself captivated by Leonard Tillerman's articles on Medium.
Despite several setbacks caused by illness, he eloquently details his unwavering determination to manage his conditions.
I asked the pastor about the secret behind the unwavering mental toughness of some individuals. Here's his enlightening response:
Some rare individuals embrace pain and discomfort, whether mental or physical, which can be a powerful catalyst for building resilience.
When you push yourself out of your comfort zone, whether by taking on challenging projects, overcoming tough health issues, or embracing new experiences, you learn to adapt and become better equipped to handle stress, embracing discomfort leads to growth and resilience.
