Where Do You Find Your Inner Strength?
How you respond to challenges is what matters
“The rational soul is stronger than any kind of fortune—from its own share it guides the affairs here or there, and is itself the cause of a happy or miserable life.” — Seneca, c. 65
The rational soul. If only we had more of those.
After a stinging defeat or a personal loss, it's easy to find ourselves feeling bereft and forlorn. Without the drive to soldier on.
In the throes of something like that, we might think it’s the end of the world (even though we know it literally isn’t the case). Our irrational soul has taken over.
