If our mind is weak, a situation
sounds like a problem;
if our mind is balanced, the same
situation is a challenge, and poses a challenge to our personality;
and when our mind is strong, the same and even more situations become opportunities to explore and pave the way for our progress.
(Popular phrase, ramified).

This is closely related to the concept of: Paristhiti, Manosthiti, and Atmasthiti; mostly lectured on in Indic philosophy.
***
The stronger mind leads us to the Atmasthiti.
