Sisu

Imagine living a life where you seek out adversity rather than hiding from it. Life is not fair and things will go horribly wrong. Instead of drifting through life hoping things go well why not push forward knowing you will take challenges head-on? Sisu is not wilting in the face of adversity but instead rejoicing in the new challenge and how it will make you grow. It is willingly taking the hard path and knowing you will see it through. Without hard times what are good times, without sadness can there be happiness? A tradition I have heard some people do every year in Finland is willingly picking an activity that they do not think they can do that will make them suffer greatly. Training is required for this event and the event should be hard enough so they must train all year for it. I challenge each one of you to pick a challenge for yourself and embrace adversity with open arms!
