Life's a series of negotiations. It feels like you're tackling hurdles or haggling with different folks. But truth is, there's one main opponent - fate.
As a seasoned negotiator, fate positions itself strongly. It plays dirty by targeting your weak spots. Faced with unbearable consequences, you might wave the white flag.
One round ends, another starts. Your score is noted, whether you're up or down. Power shifts back and forth.
It's the Matthew Effect at play: "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away."
It's not unfair, but losing all the time isn't smart. Your opponent, fate, is relentless and crafty. How do you come out on top?
Your basic aim is to neutralize fate's leverage against you. The less you depend on comfort and pleasure, the harder it is for fate to bully you.
Best case scenario? Turn fate's weapon into your own. Oddly enough, welcome the challenges fate throws at you.
But how? Find personal meaning in them.
Sure, it's tough. But even gradual progress towards the ideal makes you invulnerable, confident, and strong.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
