#311: Fortitude (Friday, December 14)

I recently had to ask a few people to define the word "fortitude". I was surprised by how many people didn't know what it meant.

I love this word. I think it's one of those words that speak to one's character and how they handle challenges and adversity in their lives.

You can have individuals who experience the same horrible situation in completely different ways. Some will completely break down and let it control their lives; others will work through it by any means necessary. The latter defines fortitude.

How will you respond when faced with adversity?
