Resilience

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

— Friedrich Nietzsche

The longer we live, the greater the chance to accumulate painful memories. And the more unwanted memories we carry, the smaller our sense of choice or freedom feels.

— Kevin Quiles

Let's be real. Violence is evil. Killing is evil. But you probably didn't really care about that till now. This happens all day, every day, in so many places, to so many people. The fear, the loss, the bewildering randomness. The trauma. No more hypocrisy and inaction. Start being part of the solution for everyone. It's taking you a little longer because you aren't lying, scamming, manipulating, using people, or selling your soul. Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

— Khalil Gibran

Loss is part of life. If you don’t have loss, you don’t grow. This is life.

Thresholds are meant to be broken. When you think you hit your limit, you are only at 40%. Pain is the only way to grow. The mind is the battlefield. Constant state of suffering.

— David Goggins

You have to build calluses on your brain just like you build calluses on your hands. Callus your mind through pain and suffering.

— David Goggins

A man is made from pain, disrespect, rejection, failure, and losses.

— Jax Teller

Tough times never last, only tough people last.

— Ryan Holiday

Turn your pain into power. To grow, is to suffer.

— David Goggins

Pain cures pain

— Rumi
