Claim: Setbacks are not wrong turns. They are the main path. The harder your struggles, the bigger your success.

Reality Check: Resilience is vital, but glorifying struggle can lead to a toxic culture of overwork and unnecessary stress. Research in positive psychology highlights the importance of focusing on strengths and building a supportive environment to foster resilience and growth, rather than celebrating hardship for its own sake (Seligman, 2011).
