Does Hardship Build A Man's Self-Respect

Do you think that men need to go through hardship in order to have a deep level of self respect? Do you think that that's sort of a prerequisite for it?

I think adversity is the greatest teacher for every human, you know, just to be honest with you. And yes, absolutely, I believe every man needs to experience adversity, needs to experience challenges. It refines us as men, it shapes us, and then prepares us for whatever comes next our way. I mean, the adversity and the hardship that I just starting our nonprofit organization or building the cave of Adullam, it's what keep me going today when some days I don't feel like doing it anymore. It's knowing that wait a minute, I put a lot of work in. This is really nothing, just another obstacle for me to scale or knock down and keep going.
