I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

Thursday - Make Character Your Loudest Statement

This is something I was discussing recently. How I can’t control things at work so I should control what I can and be an example instead of complaining or wasting energy on things I can’t control.

Yesterday - Be The Person You Want To Be

What I want is always counter to what I grew up with. I’ve had success in some areas. Other areas I still struggle but I am making progress. It’s tough when the habits formed years ago need to change. I have to have patience because I am changing them. Though maybe not as quickly as I’d like.

Today - Show, Not Tell, What You Know

This is something I can struggle with. I can get a bit preachy in conversations. I have to remember the other people at the table and put the focus on them and what they want to know. If I’m asked a question I answer it. I try to be the asker though because there’s more power in listening than talking.
