Reminds me of what your buddy, Marcus Aurelius, said about life being like a wrestling match. It’s necessary to be able to take the blows and being philosophical, as you say, really helps. With the right training, one can even learn to smile at adversity.

We can learn much virtue from gladiatorial sports, where the mind is very much important as well as the body.

GREAT post, wonderful advice, and excellent metaphor, my friend! Life certainly does seem like one big boxing match at times…
