How might I cultivate courage to face the hard stuff in life?

this question makes me smile, ‘ cause life is presenting us with hard stuff anyway, we can’t escape facing it. one of my favorite of all poems (please see, read and enjoy below) comes to mind, especially those lines:’ Let’s not act so betrayed,
As though life had broken her secret promise to us.’. thats my way to look at the hard stuff: not to feel betrayed. not to feel betrayed! as one of my Buddist teachers says: ‘this is samsara, what do you expect?’ so, please enjoy the full poem by Jennifer Westwood:
‘The Dakini Speaks
My friends, let’s grow up.
Let’s stop pretending we don’t know the deal here.
Or if we truly haven’t noticed, let’s wake up and notice.
Look: Everything that can be lost, will be lost.
It’s simple — how could we have missed it for so long?
Let’s grieve our losses fully, like ripe human beings,
But please, let’s not be so shocked by them.
Let’s not act so betrayed,
As though life had broken her secret promise to us.
Impermanence is life’s only promise to us,
And she keeps it with ruthless impeccability.
To a child she seems cruel, but she is only wild,
And her compassion exquisitely precise:
Brilliantly penetrating, luminous with truth,
She strips away the unreal to show us the real.
This is the true ride — let’s give ourselves to it!
Let’s stop making deals for a safe passage:
There isn’t one anyway, and the cost is too high.
We are not children anymore.
The true human adult gives everything for what cannot be lost.
Let’s dance the wild dance of no hope!’
