| I often write about thinking biases that can affect our decision making. Today I want to talk about a way of thinking that can undermine our resilience during hardship, as well as our ability to flourish and succeed. It's no secret that catastrophes happen in life. Natural disasters, tragic accidents, terrible illnesses, heart-rending betrayals, economic calamities, war, famine... Human history has been riddled with these, and most of us have been touched by something catastrophic in one way or another. But it's important to remember that a catastrophe is not the most likely scenario. If they were common, we wouldn't think of them as catastrophes, just the normal troubles we expect in life. Sure, there can be disappointments, hardships, struggles, and losses that require us to step up to challenges we would rather not have to face. These are not uncommon. But a true catastrophe is highly unlikely. |
