How to expand your living space? —

Two ways: endure what others won't, do what capable people can't.

First, let's talk about "endure." It doesn't mean suppressing emotions or accepting everything passively.

True valuable endurance is about using short-term discomfort to gain longer-term initiative:

For example, resisting the urge to cash out immediately,
resisting the temptation to argue over right and wrong,
resisting exposing your true thoughts excessively in a low-awareness environment,
resisting spending time and energy on short-term pleasures.

Next, what does "capable" mean?

Many people understand "capable" as ability, talent, resources, or background.

But in reality, what is often more scarce is another kind of ability:

The ability to do something long-term that shows no immediate reward;
the ability to keep pushing forward when not understood;
the ability to remain restrained when others make emotional decisions;
the ability to bear uncertainty when most choose to play it safe.

So, what is truly difficult is not endurance and capability themselves, but the ability to recognize—

Recognize which pains are meaningful and which are just consumption;
Recognize which endurance is about exchanging chips and which is self-deception;
Recognize which abilities are stacking long-term compound interest and which are just making you suffer more in place!
