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
