We call that an "inner toughness" or what has been referred to on here many times as "mindset".
I'm not psychologist but I would venture to say that that mindset we look for is imbued early in life by parents, teachers, coaches etc.
Do a search on here for mindset and read.

Just as TS wrote, I was going to say something along these lines too.
I see a lot of guys going through the Q course and within Companies that can "Make it or not make it" is based off upbringing. How that person deals with life problems.
Maybe somewhere back 10 to 15 years ago kids growing up didn't have to cut the grass any more, stop working around the house. I don't know. Sports and karate whatever it is that hardens a person in their youth makes them deal with life’s problems better. IMO
This play’s true within the military, guy’s that just go through military deals on the down low don’t handle the stresses of combat as well as other’s that have pushed themselves in Training. Whether it’s in schooling or training events or exercises soldiers need to push themselves to better themselves in the real “world”.
