How to become stronger even if life gets harder
<p>Today, a reader of mine asked me if I could show him how to be more ‘anti-fragile.’</p>
<p>The idea was introduced by Nicholas Taleb in his book of the same name.</p>
<p>It refers to the process of not only withstanding adversity but actually thriving and improving in the face of challenges.</p>
<p>While everyone’s shivering in their boots about obstacles, your anti-fragile self is gearing up to grow.</p>
<p>This requires awareness.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 7 ways you can develop anti-fragility, one of the most under spoken and powerful life skills:</strong></p>
<h1>Embrace the suck</h1>
<p>In the movie ‘Jarhead,’ this was a phrase often grunted by soldiers during Desert Storm.</p>
<p>When you can find the good in the bad, you’l be able to weather horrors like war.</p>
<p>Think about how embracing adversity, even finding opportunities in hardship, can help you.</p>
<h1>Actively learn from failure.</h1>
<p>Most people get depressed over setbacks.</p>
<p>Antifragile people sit down and write down all the lessons from their mistakes.</p>
<p>They may even do as I do, which is to write a blog about the experience.</p>
<p>This is strengthening.</p>
