Hey this is Leo for actualized.org and in this video I want to talk about a classic adage which goes

whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Now is that true or is that false?

Now is it false that whatever doesn't

kill you makes you stronger? Before we dig into that, just to let you know, I'm

standing here in the center of Toronto. Downtown Toronto, I've got the CN tower behind me,

but in front of it I've got this giant locomotive which is part of this railroad

museum that they have right in the downtown area kind of cool so I thought I'd shoot a

video here but I've been thinking lately about this issue of you know

whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I want to believe that, right? And I tend to tell that to people as advice, you know,

when they're going through something difficult. I just have to say you know use it as as fuel for the

road. Use it as fuel to keep you moving, keep it going even if something bad happens to

you there's always a silver lining to it, etc.

Well, here in Toronto I've been going through a pretty bad legal trial and it's been

triggering me emotionally quite a bit more so than I've been triggered in a long long time.

In fact, just the other day I might say I had one of my most brutal days of my life spending

eight hours in the courtroom. So going through that and some of the emotions that came up for me,

I've really started to think about this,

is this situation going to make me stronger or is it actually going to make me weaker?

Is it possible to have a situation that's so bad? stronger or is it actually going to make me weaker?

Is it possible to have a situation that's so bad that you still live through it, but in the end
