The stress, depression, and anxiety are inflicted upon us involuntarily. We don’t want to feel like shit, we don’t want to feel hopeless - but we do. This is an exercise in mental resilience for the warrior. The ordinary person either numbs themselves, dissociates, or succumbs to the emotion and identifies with it. The warrior recognizes this as a challenge to overcome and an opportunity to grow. Life puts us through these tests because we do not - we avoid “negativity” like the plague. But if you're a warrior out on the battlefield, then negativity, stress, and anxiety are your environment. If you do not know how to navigate that terrain, you’re bound to lose - or get lost.
