the idea of composure

i was watching The Godfather II and i was very intrigued by the level of composure of Micheal and Vito.

i thought about how we can learn this type of composure and apply to our daily lives

firstly, composure is a mindset, to be that calm, you must understand some certain realities.

being afraid of anything outside your reasoned choice is pointless and you’re always going to be fine.

it’s just like when you’re about to write exams, you’re composed because you’ve been here before, you’ve written hundreds of exams in worse situations, what makes this any different?

understanding intricacies like this help you relax, now let’s analyze the case of Micheal and why he’s so composed.

the reason why he’s so composed in this scene after being threatened and knowing his enemy wants to kill him is because he has already made plans to kill his enemy first.

so as much as composure is a mind game, it’s also strategy. you must have fail-safes for your problems. mentally or physically, you must wield your fate and control it.

what’s the last thing? figure it out yourself, and feel free to share it.
