“The rational soul is stronger than any kind of fortune — from its own share it guides its affairs here or there, and is itself the cause of a happy or miserable life.”

- Seneca, Moral Letters, 98.2b

We are stronger with preparation and practice. When we learn to endure, we learn to cope.

Wealth and health are great examples of preparation and practice. We should be saving enough of our money for an emergency. We should strive to be active and fit as we mature.

Conclusion

Preparing and training make us better no matter what fate has in store for us. It makes us stronger and more agile in our daily lives.
