Whenever we choose not to take part in something, it is an opportunity for us to display strength of character. Resilience, self-esteem and self-confidence are all built up with every letter of refusal or delay of action. Failing is as big a lesson as succeeding and by shrinking back, we miss out on the real reward that problem solving and accountability can bring. Refusing to act is not merely avoiding a task - but rather taking a step back to assess the difficulty level and make a conscious decision that pushes us further along our journey towards success.
