Greek term or phrase: Γεννημένος/οι για τα δύσκολα
Δεκτικότητα στις εμπειρίες

Η δεκτικότητα στις εμπειρίες χαρακτηρίζεται από το ποσοστό αναζήτησης του ατόμου για νέες καταστάσεις, νέες δραστηριότητες, καινοτόμες σκέψεις και απόψεις. Άτομα με ψηλά ποσοστά δεκτικότητας εμπειριών τείνουν να είναι ανοιχτοί στην δημιουργικότητα και τη φαντασία, δέχονται συναισθηματικές εμπειρίες πιο εύκολα και έχουν την τάση να αξιολογούν καινοτόμες σκέψεις, αξίες και εμπειρίες. Είναι δημιουργικά και περίεργα και είναι γεννημένοι για τα δύσκολα. Άτομα με χαμηλό ποσοστό δεκτικότητας είναι πιο συνεσταλμένοι, και προτιμούν να παραμένουν στις ίδιες καταστάσεις που αποκλείουν τεράστιες αλλαγές.

And, as Dylan, very astutely pointed out:

Better equipped to handle difficult situations and/or better endowed/ rigged to deal with difficult situations / times

made for the tough stuff / tough situations


Explanation:
Just another idea. Made (or born) for tough situations would be more appropriate in this context of course, but I wanted to recommend both.
