The Art of Resilience

von Ross Edgley

★★★★★

This is why the US Navy Seals don’t refer to it as the psychobiological model of fatigue but rather, the Forty Per cent Rule. Put simply, they believe when your mind is telling you that you’re done, that you’re exhausted, that you cannot possibly go any further, you’re only actually 40 per cent done. ‘If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it’s unendurable … then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so. In your interest, or in your nature.’

How we don’t control and cannot rely on external events, only ourselves and our responses. How our perception shapes how we see the world around us. How the source of our dissatisfaction lies in our impulsive dependency on our emotionally charged reflexive reactions rather than logic.

‘Fatigue is merely an emotional expression of the subjective symptoms that develop as these subconscious controls wage a fierce battle with the conscious mind to ensure that the conscious ultimately submits to the superior will of the subconscious.’

‘The nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.’
