The Power of Restraint: Strength, Anxiety, and the Art of Adaptation
Anxiety makes you suffer even before there is any concrete reason for it. In this way, simply anticipating pain will make you feel it in its full intensity before it even materializes.
The most harmful decisions are often those made under stress, anger, rage, or passion. Anxiety, in turn, is a difficult challenge to tame; therefore, it must be trained gradually.
Sometimes, it is necessary to be ready to abandon the life we planned in order to face the life that awaits us. Instead of making an impulsive decision in a moment of deep stress, learn to reflect rationally on all the possibilities before taking action.
