We all have bad days. We all have challenging moments, but it doesn't mean that we have to stay that way.
When times are challenging, we cannot let spontaneity or emotion lead our actions. Among other things, because we cannot always control our emotions or invoke them at will. We need to develop our character so that we can act according to what we think is the right thing to do.
Being aware and willing is not enough to make a good decision, as only those who have the habit of acting rightly are capable of following their conscience. Additionally, besides knowing what is good, they also have the strength to act accordingly.
Talent develops in solitude, character develops in the stream of life.
― Goethe
