It’s often in moments of great stress and pressure that we really are able to begin to understand the strength of our own character. Sometimes in life, we undergo experiences that are difficult to understand and unpleasant to withstand. But it is in these moments and through these experiences that we begin to garner knowledge about our deeper, inner selves. Because of these experiences, we are able to discover who we are and what we’re capable of. And, more importantly, what we can achieve when pushed to the limits beyond our perceived boundaries. These are the moments that shape our lives and build character. And great character is the cornerstone of great achievement. When we begin to know and understand ourselves, we can then begin to understand and fulfill our greater purpose in life.
