Random observation: people seem to land in one of two camps regarding their responses to recognizing challenges. Either we over-dramatize (see the mountain instead if the molehill), or under-estimate (see a molehill instead of the mountain). Perhaps the later deception is more productive, as you avoid paralysis. However, neither is truly effective. Either one is paralyzed needlessly, or starry-eyed unaware of truly harmful danger.
Best response: when we’ve trained ourselves to see challenge, understand our ability to respond, then choose clearly amongst the clear and obvious choices.
I train my mind continuously, hoping that I’ll someday achieve that state.
