Have you ever had moments in your life when you are on the verge of a catastrophic loss and yet you manage to clench the victory from the jaws of defeat?
Whether it be running your startup while barely making ends meet or simply meeting a next to impossible deadline. The harder you rage against imminent defeat the more you train yourself to develop faster and gain resilience.
You grow more faith in yourself and your abilities to the point you start enjoying such encounters and situations. Why is it useful?
Lets say you hate going to the gym. Once you rage against the idea of losing, you train yourself to hit the gym and find joy in being sore. You start enjoying raging and getting over defeat. soon it turns into a mindset.
Choose the hardest activity of the day instead of letting life choose it for you
If you choose the hardest activity of the day and finish it you inherit the mindset for the rest of the activities. All other activities then become easy and have a lesser impact on you.

Sometimes we find meaning in life by pursuing challenges that have great impact and are deemed impossible. The road to such great heights is incremental and the journey takes time.
In pursuit of expansion and greatness in life we eventually understand that we have to love to rage against the dying light in order to contribute anything meaningful.
