It’s something that’s seen all over these woods, from stickers , clothes, stuff made of wood, glass, if SISU can be applied on it, it’s on it. It’s a Finnish word spoken as this ” See-sue”. Ask 5 different Finnish folks about the SISU, you’ll get 5 different answers, it’s thier way.
It’s a Finnish word that doesn’t have a direct translation into English
Here is a fun scene, just ignore the turbin
What happens when we reach our limit? What happens when we encounter adversity? What happens when we want to give up?
What SISU can look like
Sisu is much more than that though. It is more of a philosophy or mindset. It is a perspective on the world that is not just limited to enduring and showing willpower.
SISU t is striving over extraordinary difficulties and having extraordinary courage in the face of adversity.
Adversity is something we’ve all encountered. Adversity in the workplace, in our relationships, on our travels, with our mental health and on big expeditions. Sisu is within all of us but it really comes into its own when we are under pressure.
When we are seemingly at the end of our physical and mental capacity, that is when SISUcomes knocking on the door. It pushes us beyond our perceived limits and shows there is much more to us than what meets the eye initially. Sisu is not just about physical endurance and suffering in extreme environments. Sisu can be about the psychological battle we have away from those harsh and relentless conditions. It is the unseen battle that goes on in our own minds.
The crying Kav
a concrete blast wall going up around the white house
the Army offering 50,000 just to join up
inflation
the border

this storm is like no other we have faced
We got some squeaky snow ( good snow ) last night
