“Our true character and values are tested when we are faced with uncomfortable environments that we didn’t plan for. It’s not what we do in the moments of planned adversity, but in the moments that are unplanned and unprepared. The takeaway here is to become resilient. When hard and uncomfortable times arise, view that as an opportunity to maintain your posture. Don’t allow the adversity to break your character so you can walk away from that situation with pride.”

“When your sparring partner scratches or head-butts you, you don’t then make a show of it, or protest, or view him with suspicion or as plotting against you. And yet you keep an eye on him, not as an enemy or with suspicion, but with a healthy avoidance. You should act this way with all things in life. We should give a pass to many things with our fellow trainees. For, as I’ve said, it’s possible to avoid without suspicion or hate.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 6.20”
