Who Am I?

When things do not go my way?
When I lose?
When I am stressed and overloaded?
When I am being asked to do more than I can?
When I am discouraged?
When I am not strong?

I am only as strong as my weakest link/trait.

When things are easy, it is easy to just ride along and think I have everything under control. When things do not go in my favour, that is when my real character weaknesses reveal themselves. Something about adversity can bring out the very best and very worst in us.

I think it is a good exercise to examine the things that I do not like about myself in moments when things are not going in my favour, acknowledge them, and work on fixing them. Then next time the adversity comes, my weakest link/trait can be that much stronger.

The saying goes, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". That is what I wanna be, as hard as it is.
