A mental trick I use to make myself anti-fragile.

I believe very deeply that I chose this life. My life.

It was not a random accident, nor was it prescribed to me. It was chosen. By me. For me.

This is my deepest held belief.

This allows me to reframe every negative thing that ever happened as something I chose to experience.

Every trauma, a lesson.

Every failure, a necessary pre condition for later success.

All the pain, hardship, struggle etc… merely exposure therapy.

Allowing me to become immune to certain varietals of poison… metaphorical or otherwise.

It is all self inflicted.

No one can convince me this isn’t true and thinking this way gives me ownership over every single part of my world.

When you have that extreme level of ownership, you have an extreme level of control.

Everything becomes more malleable.

The world shift from being something that happens to you, to you being something that happens to it.

From the very start we had to race to the finish line, we did that. Without failure, there are no lessons to evolve into something greater. “There is no heart BREAK, only heart SHAPE” From losing a finger, to breaking bones and dislocating limbs, it’s all lessons to become hardened and bett...

I agree. And once we see this we realize our own life is the riddle to be solved. We create all of the obstacles we perceive. They form our own learning mechanism and path of growth. When we blame external events/people for circumstances then we give our power away and block our opportunity for grow...

Yes. I hold very similar beliefs, and I do my best not succumb to a victim mentality which is the worst poison.

Hard core disagree. You are not your own. You are created in the image of God. (Imago Dei). Control is a tool you use to help you cope with the fact that there is a God and you aren’t Him. If you believe in Jesus you can be born again, your eyes are then open to the things unseen. His spirit ...

Just had a long discussion about this with my mom. My dad is dying from early onset Alzheimer's, and our foundational belief is as you described - that we all chose this for wise and wonderful reasons. Accepting that our special dose of pain is carefully and meticulously administered in love and pu...
