Reflection

Resilience

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

— Albert Einstein

Why this matters:

Tenacity is often mistaken for genius. The ability to remain focused and committed to a solution despite repeated failures is a hallmark of a resilient and successful mind.

Psychological Lens

This quote can be read through the lens of resilience: the capacity to keep orienting toward meaning, values, or next steps during difficulty.

Reflection Prompt

What value or small next step still matters, even if the full outcome is uncertain?

Tiny Practice

Write one sentence naming what still matters, then take one action smaller than your resistance.
