The Fittest

Survival of the fittest suggests a level of knowledge in advance. In reality, we tend to have a survival bias. Those that make it through fit stories to explain why they were the winners. If history had played out differently, the alternative story would have fit equally snuggly. We are chronic pattern seekers and can add a layer of meaning onto any random jumble of stars. Advance “Fitness” is more about developing resilience. The ability to sustain knocks in a variety of situations. Ensuring everything you do has an underlying quality, but accepting that the noise of life will have the loudest voice. Resilience helps you be part of the editing committee as your story is written.
