I had a lot of anxiety and worry in my youth. Perhaps no more than the next person, but part of me looked forward to getting older and mentally stronger. As I reached my late teens, I began to realise that mental strength isn’t something you are necessarily born with, but equally, it isn’t something which naturally comes with age. It’s something you have to work on and develop. From then on, I began to study my flaws and seek ways to become that stronger person I desired to be.
