The state of mind is crucial in dealing with adversity. Regardless of external circumstances, if there is inner misalignment, it will result in a sense of dread. Conversely, when there is inner alignment, it becomes easier to navigate through difficult times. The key to swiftly overcoming challenges lies in improving the inner game. Many people who appear miserable have not addressed their inner struggles. Instead of confronting their issues, they channel their energy into other areas of life. However, the misplaced energy only serves as a temporary distraction. Eventually, the unresolved issues resurface, compelling individuals to face them directly. It is often easier to develop skills or achieve success than it is to address one's personal struggles. Consequently, people often build external accomplishments as a means of avoiding their inner demons, until these demons inevitably demand attention and force individuals to confront them.
