When life gets tough, the tough get goingIt is a famous proverb simply means to become more tougher than the situation in order to be able to overcome it. This is true in different aspect of life but there are some consider it as too much to be visibly moved.
However, adversity has always been part of our life. We can't deny the fact that our life always comes with difficulties as we fail somehow on the process but its a good thing because it actually makes us even more stronger.
Pain and death are part of our life. To reject them is to reject life itself. -Havelock Ellis

Yet, its not a problem at all because learning to deal with and overcoming adversity is what builds character and resilience.

Growth begins with the sowing of seeds. Isn't it amazing how you can change your life by simply paying attention on the seed you sow? It depends on what seed you sow, is it good or bad? That's precisely why we have to sow new seeds as things are uncertain and unpredictable.
Do not be deceived. God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows, this will that person also reap. For those who sow to their own flesh, shall reap corruption from the flesh. But the one who sows to the Spirit, shall reap eternal life from the Spirit. (Galatians 6:7-10)
