COT:
doing hard things is inevitable. They will come find you, so instead go find them and practice. Grit isn’t an inborn trait, but a developed capability. I see hard things in three broad categories: physical strain (an F3 specialty), mental strain (such as enduring prolonged pain and discomfort e.g., fasting), and learning/changing strain (enduring doing things you’re not good at). Probably not airtight categories, but they help me sort out what I need to work on.
So get out there and do hard things so you’ll be good at it when the hard things comes and finds you.
