Toughness Is A Skill

"If the people around you are tough, and they are willing to do tough things, I think you are more likely to be tough too. That's good peer pressure. Peer pressure can make us do things we shouldn't do, but it can make us want to do the tough things, the right things, too." - Bill Self

Consider the five to ten people you spend the most time with. How do they respond to adversity? With whines or wins? Wails or will? Complaining or committing? With hard luck or hard work? Defeatedly or determinedly? With a scowl or a smile?

We choose our company, and we choose our attitude. Toughness is a skill worth practicing.
