This question is like exercise or no exercise, which is more beneficial to health?
We see that the propaganda of the gym is that exercise is health.
But in fact, according to the statistics of dead athletes, insurance companies found that the average life expectancy of professional athletes is lower than that of ordinary people, 15 years old. Excessive exercise consumes life.
Exercise and health are not linear, but inverted U-shaped. Moderate exercise is good for health. Too little or too much is harmful to health.
Similarly, prosperity and adversity are good for personal growth, but they also have disadvantages. The key is whether they overdo it.
Today, Atie will talk to you about this problem, so that you can have a brand-new understanding of yourself, avoid falling into excessive despair, live comfortably in excessive prosperity and have a more active life.
Excessive adversity makes people depressed and pessimistic.
We have seen too many cases of collapse in excessive adversity.
Some people give up their lives in the face of work adversity, and some people can't stand the emotional conflict and choose to escape and establish feelings with others.
Some people just want to lie flat at a young age.
When they want to do something, what they think is "I can't do it", and then they will feel stressed, difficult and depressed.
There is a classmate in our class who has experienced parents' quarrels since childhood and is desperate for marriage.
This long-term frustration makes him both eager and afraid of marriage, unable to enter marriage and unable to be satisfied with being single. These two states are both adversity and unbearable for him.
Excessive prosperity makes people blindly expand.
The three great misfortunes in life are: success in youth, birth in a rich family and windfall.
These wonderful times will make people have a wrong understanding of the world, exaggerate their abilities, and then make themselves lose their resistance in the face of real setbacks.
There is an excellent classmate in our class, who is the first in every exam since childhood. Studying in a prestigious school is that kind of abuse to others.
The good times along the way made him feel that everything was simple and he could do whatever he wanted.
As a result, under such thinking, his marriage and family were in a mess, and he was repeatedly depressed because of the frustration of interpersonal relationships after he joined the company.
Excessive adversity will make people form such cognition as "I can't do anything well", "I am bad in nature" and "I am unnecessary to live".
Excessive prosperity makes people realize that I can do anything, I can change the world, and the world revolves around me.
Once these perceptions are formed by the environment, they are difficult to modify. Under the same circumstances, this cognition will be strengthened. In different situations, it will be ignored.
Once a person feels that he can't do it, even if he can, he will find reasons to say that it is because of luck rather than ability.
