Thriving in adversity

-Adversity and pressure.

-“Premeditation of evils.”

We should periodically?meditate?on?losing?the things we cherish most.?

If we make a?habit?of visualizing career or relationship failure, sickness,betrayal or even death, we will become akin to the?king?who?fortifies?his?kingdom?from invasion.

Over time, we will develop a?psychological armor?to help us endure the hardships of life.

-“Anyone can endure difficulties better if he has previously?practiced?how to deal with them. People who are in prepared can be unhinged by even the smallest of things.”—Seneca

-“Take example from the wrestling masters. Has the boy Fallon down? Get up, again, they say,?wrestle again?until you have made yourself strong. That’s the sort of?attitude?you should have.”?—Epictetus?
