Your mind is a powerful weapon.

The problem: sometimes it can be your worst enemy.

The bright side: you can train it and thrive.

THREAD: How to develop an unconquerable mind

"It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable." Seneca

Seems like an easy premise more than 2,000 years ago when the stoic philosopher said it.

But in 2022— when disruption, noise overload, and burnout are the modern plagues— it's not so easy.

How can you armor your mind?

These 9 principles will help you master mental resilience:

1- Reset the GPS

Happiness is a byproduct.

You have to let it happen and avoid the fixation with euphoria.

It's not an infinite supply of sunshine & rainbows.

Do the right things, and you'll get the result...

But it should never be your North Star.

This is a futile pursuit and, often, the root of discontent.

Shift your effort toward the actions that lead to fulfillment.

Science has proved that life satisfaction trumps happiness.

Accomplish worthwhile things—happiness will follow.

2- Use fear as a compass

"What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do." Ralph W. Emerson

We're programmed with a negativity bias.

In every situation, our response is to imagine the worst-case scenario.

Change your outlook by reframing fear.

It's not pain...
