In today’s episode, I’m diving into the idea of embracing adversity and finding joy in doing hard things. We’ll explore the importance of strength—both in Stoicism and Christianity—and how bearing heavy burdens can shape us. I’ll talk about the concept of worthiness, reminding us that while everything worth doing is hard, not all hard things are worth our time.

We’ll examine the connection between a task’s difficulty and its payoff and why it’s essential to cultivate our strengths and competence to make a positive impact. Finally, we’ll discuss the collaborative nature of tackling life’s challenges and how each of us has a role to play in the bigger picture.
