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

Sunday - Prepare Yourself For Negativity

This is the one stoic I have marked in the book. It’s a powerful message and one easily forgotten. I am going to run into people that could cause me a negative reaction but I need to recognize it’s going to happen and prepare for that. So that at the time I’m able to respond calmly and level-headed.

Yesterday - Expect to Change Your Opinions

Arrogance has been something I’ve had over the past year. I’m coming up on six years. I’ve seen a lot. I know a lot of people. I’ve used that arrogance to try and control my environment.

Today - The Cost of Accepting Counterfeits

I feel like I live in this space of questioning everything. Never accepting a, “because I said so.” That can have it’s own drawbacks because not everyone thinks like this. That’s where I’ve had to use other stoics to balance this one out. I want to be pushing boundaries and finder better way to do things. Some people just don’t operate like that.
