An idea from Thus Spoke Zarathustra

A spirit becomes a camel first. It kneels down and asks for the heaviest load it can carry, because carrying hard things is how it proves itself. Duty, obedience, the rules you were handed. You get strong under weight.

From Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
