since life is just a state of mind, here is an idea: when something bad happens and you soldier on, tell yourself (or someone else if it happens to them)
NOW THATS METAL!example: you are walking to your climbing stand through mud in the dark. you fall and get your backside all wet plus a boot full of water. instead of indulging in self pity, proudly proclaim: aah yeah dude...now thats METAL!!
