The Tools You Need to Forge Resilience, the Three P’s:
-
Morgan reflects on the profound insights gained from his father's stories of the war in Bosnia from 1992 to 1994. These narratives were not just tales of conflict but lessons in resilience, particularly perspective.
Morgan emphasises that if your perspective is worse than the reality you confront, a resilient mindset begins with changing your perspective.
Humans are hard wired with a negativity bias. This means that negative stimuli are processed more readily by the brain than positive stimuli.
By correctly aligning your perspective and overcoming this negativity bias you can foster a more realistic outlook that can inspire action and growth.
-
How can you be resilient if you don’t know why you need to be resilient? Morgan found himself addressing this question in his childhood. Having already endured years of neglect, Morgan found purpose when his brother was born. He was no longer suffering without reason. He needed to be resilient. He had to endure every hardship so he could look after his brother and protect him from the childhood Morgan had already experienced.
But on the dark days. The days of failure, injury, illness, fatigue and misery. Your purpose starts to distance itself from you. Suddenly, your strides towards success, towards your purpose feel like drops in a never ending ocean. And your failures, your hardships, feel like relentless waves knocking you down again and again. It is here that you need a path of stepping stones back to your purpose. Instead of continuously tumbling in the swell of your hardships, resilience is getting your head above the water, bracing for every wave and finding your path back to the shore.
-
Process is your rudder, your direction through life, steering you through your goals and avoiding the rocks of hardships which can bring your progress to a halt if you stray from your process. In rowing, you must focus on building a process which controls the controllables and ignores everything else.
Even the most resilient people only have a limited capacity to deal with hardships. By following a strict process which removes uncontrollable hardships from the equation. You are giving your mind more capacity to cope with controllable hardships so you can sail directly into the storm without fear of snagging on the rocks you pass along the way.
