If your goal is to become bulletproof, you must accept the reality of taking hits. You cannot develop strong armour without testing it against actual attacks. That might mean exposing yourself to criticism, facing real risks, or deliberately stepping beyond your comfort zone. By allowing the world to fire at you—though in safe, controlled ways—you create the conditions for genuine growth.
Engineer these low to medium risk scenarios with care. Put your ideas out there, even if they are not perfect. Start difficult conversations that could challenge your confidence. Tackle tasks that feel just beyond your current capability. Each time you “get shot,” you build stronger defences and learn what else needs reinforcing.
Over time, those hits leave fewer marks, because you have adapted. You have figured out the points of failure and upgraded your armour. This is not a shortcut; it can be uncomfortable, slow, and demanding. Yet nothing else produces the same bulletproof resilience as steady, deliberate exposure to the trials you want to overcome.
Keep repeating the process. Study what went wrong, patch the gaps, then go back for more. In time, you will discover that bullets that once hurt no longer faze you. That is how you become truly bulletproof—by letting the world test you and standing firm through it all.
