G. Gordon Liddy, the storied Watergate burglar, wrote a best-selling autobiography, called WILL.
There he tells a number of strange tales precisely he purposely toughened himself to deal effectively with life’s challenges, and with adversity.
Considered one of his famous pronouncements was: “Everything that doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger!”
Politics aside, you will have to tip your hat for this guy.
Watergate reportage made him appear to be a true head case. That might hire this former G-man, ex-convict, and second-rate burglar, to borrow Nixon’s phrase.
As you may know, Liddy have not land exactly on his feet, but he certainly got up, from the deck, and off his knees, to launch an exceptionally successful career as a possible author and radio personality.
The individual is the real deal, with regards to toughness: adversity made him stronger.
Look back on your difficult times. See them in perspective.
