Quote from Episode:
“Survival is built into our system. Thriving, however, is a choice.”
Show Notes:
In this episode, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores the subtle but powerful distinctions between resistance, resilience, and restraint—and how all three create a trinity of strength across body, mind, and spirit.
🏋️ Resistance Training: building strength by meeting forces directly, physically or mentally
🌱 Resilience: the reserves that let us rise again and again despite hardship
🛑 Restraint: the discipline to pause, to withhold, to act (or not act) in alignment with truth
From modern principles like SAID (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands) to ancient yogic titration, Nicholas shows how conditioning shapes our capacity to face life’s challenges. Whether it’s building calluses on the hands, softening mental blows, or preserving spiritual devotion, the practices of resistance, resilience, and restraint all prepare us to live with less suffering.
Nicholas closes with the reminder that while survival is instinctual, thriving requires choice—a conscious act of participation in life’s greater design.
