The Warrior's Forge: A Stoic Training Arc

Every warrior's greatest enemy isn't the opponent standing before them. It's the voice

inside their head after they fall. Marcus Aurelius understood this when he wrote that the

obstacle becomes the way. Your failures are the forge where your character gets

hammered into something unbreakable. That anime protagonist you admire didn't become legendary by

winning every fight. They became legendary by standing up one more time than they were

knocked down. You don't control what happens to you, only how you

respond. Stop seeing failure as your weakness and start seeing it as your

training arc.
