Resilience! Perseverance! Grit! Coping! Mental Toughness! Determination! Tenacity! Intentional Fortitude! Guts! It doesn't matter which word you choose, but it does matter whether or not you have it and choose to use it. Nothing is more important in life than the ability to overcome adversity! However, in order to overcome adversity, we must realize two important truths: (1) Failure is a fact of life that will never be avoided and (2) The inability to see failure as a step toward success and that dealing with failure is a skill that we must continually practice by dealing with failure often. If you feel inferior or unaccomplished, then get off social media (which is a lie that only posts successes and never failures .. unless the failure brings positive attention like "epic fails") Read a book or have a conversation with a real human being. Everyone is flawed. Successful people are often more flawed than others. The difference is that successful people learn from failure and it makes them better. “I’ve failed over & over & over again in my life & that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan
