Your philosophy is
Sisu
The second wind.
You don't break. When others quit, you find a reserve of grit and courage you didn't know you had. Sisu — the Finnish concept of extraordinary determination in the face of adversity — is your fire: the strength that shows up exactly when it's needed most.
“Sisu is not grit. Grit is goal-oriented; sisu is value-oriented and shows up unbidden when everything else has been spent.” — Emilia Lahti
“Sisu is the second wind of mental fortitude — the strength to take action against the odds and reach beyond what is reasonable.” — Emilia Lahti
“There is harmful sisu — the kind that grinds you under. And there is benevolent sisu, which is sustainable, embodied, in service of life.” — Emilia Lahti
