You keep me going. YOU give me hope and courage. Your book saved me. I read Ghandi everyday to get through, to try and stabilize my mind and forget the bad. Thanks
I needed this reminder today. Stand strong. Hold the line . Be ready. I've already been ruined. But, surprise for them is a thank you. I do find my character intact, and now I'm certain of my worth. Thank you for ✍️
I'm not sure about this one. I understand the resilience and acceptance of reality part.
But in starting a new business, should you prepare for its potential demise. Isn't that a way of provoking it.
When trying to build a new love relationship, isn't preparing for its end a way to also avoid its great benefits. Would you enjoy love as much if it was not for the risk of losing it all?
Should I really prepare in case of the loss of a child? I'd rather be grateful for their presence and should the worst happen, I'll deal with it.
Thank you for this. It was interesting to read about how you practiced in medical school. You write "The bubble can burst in a moment". I agree, but what is a healthy balance between rehearsing for a potential fall, yet not spending too much energy thinking about all possible negative outcomes?
I think the message is or should not be trying to get prepared by thinking, contemplating on alternatives etc. But accepting that life can get out of my control any time and that can make me feel in trouble but this is the nature of life. Meaning, change is its default code and by accepting that and knowing that it will pass and i will remain alive then rising up get more possible. This is what i understood and make me feel more resilient. By taking things as happening to me as against my plans and holding on the frustration then it is getting harder to see something clearly.
Thank you for replying. Isn't it inevitable that we contemplate on alternatives and plan for the future? I'm struggling with understanding how to accept reality exactly as it is, but that not being in conflict with trying to control an outcome. Thoughts?
Ruin can begin even in childhood, but with perspective it becomes the start of growth - acceptance is the first step in turning collapse into construction.
Training for ruin is underrated. Most people rehearse their success speech, almost nobody rehearses their failure plan. What if you could rise because you’ve already rehearsed falling on your face enough times that it no longer scares you?
📌 If you only prepare for the best, the worst owns you.

The paradox is that ruin does not strip you, it completes you.
I understand this as the other half of life is about ruining. So accepting this other half part of life makes us a whole life?
