Stoicism: We Are Built For Resilience
Our Ancestors Are Proof; It’s In Our Genes & Our Blood
“No one said life was easy. No one said it would be fair. Don’t forget, though, that you come from a long, unbroken line of ancestors who survived unimaginable adversity, difficulty, and struggle. It’s their genes and their blood that run through your body right now. Without them, you wouldn’t be here.” — The Daily Stoic, p170.
Legendary comebacks
I was chatting with one of my closest friends and admiring him for all of his amassed success. Though, he mentioned how he could have been even further in life if he had made wiser decisions on the front end. He went on to say that if he had made smarter decisions earlier in life, he wouldn’t have had to make such legendary comebacks.
My thoughts took me straight to this article: We are built for resilience. No matter what situations we face, we can overcome them through and through if we tap into our natural abilities to excel and destroy all impediments that pop up during our lifetimes.
We are all capable of making legendary comebacks because it is within our natural abilities to bounce back from unfortunate trials and tribulations.
