How To Take Action

I would suggest looking at challenges as opportunities to grow. If you want to be tougher and develop patience, don't get frustrated when things don't come easily. That's when you're actually getting stronger.

A good way of doing this is by setting goals that aren't too easy. Go for things that push you a bit outside your comfort zone. When you fail, and trust me, you will, see it as a stepping stone. Remember, grit comes from those failures.

To be hard and resilient, start small. Maybe try something simple like finishing a hard workout, even when you want to quit. Or stick to a budget even when it's tempting to spend. These little wins build resilience.

Also, don't shy away from tough conversations or decisions. If you're not giving yourself everything easily, you're practicing patience and toughness.

Here's a simple action plan:

• Identify one area in your life where you're taking the easy road.
• Set a challenge for yourself in that area that will make you stretch your abilities.
• Stick with the challenge even when it gets tough.
• Reflect on what you learn about yourself when things get hard.

Embrace the toughness that comes from these experiences. In the end, you're not just after success; you're building a character. That's the real win.
