We come from nothing, so abundance can feel overwhelming, and if weβve known plenty, minimalism can seem harsh--but neither condition is inherently good or bad. Theyβre simply opportunities to build resilience.
By treating both excess and scarcity as neutral ground, practicing gratitude for what truly suffices, imagining life without what we have, and even choosing a bit of discomfort now and then, we sharpen our mindset. That way, whether we face the chaos of too much or the austerity of too little, we stay steady--because our real strength lies in how we choose and respond, not in the things we possess.
