I don’t think most people think of happiness when they hear the word resilience.
Usually “resilience” comes with visions of hard times, and suffering.
But as a man who wants to feel as good as possible as often as possible, I believe the two can’t be separated.
Because no matter who you are, how talented, smart, or capable you are, you’re going to experience hard times and suffering.
Not just from things that are physically happening around you, but we all have a lot of mental battles we need to learn how to win too.
That’s why I see training ourselves to be more resilient as a great move towards becoming a happier person.
Those who are able to withstand life’s set backs and tragedies are those who are able to look at their troubles in a way that makes them appreciate what they have instead of focussing on what they’re missing out on.
If you find yourself struggling to create a general sense of happiness and wellbeing then this episode is for you.
