It was the strength of mind that enabled one to endure adversity with courage. It was basically your mental and emotional ability to remain strong in the face of a challenge or adversity that would wear you down.
How did this differ from Mettle and Will?
Mettle was facing a tough situation that was persistent but not fatal, where one could walk away with no repercussion, but chose not to in order to rebuild. Whether it was physically rebuilding or mentally rebuilding, both counted.
