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

Yesterday - Life Isn’t A Dance

The stoic uses wrestling as a metaphor for life. I agree with it because it requires a lot of practice and struggle and patience. Some times things are out of your control. I can practice and practice and the opponent will still be better, faster, and stronger. I have to accept that and go back to work for the next match. I have to learn from my mistakes and failures and try to be better next time.

Today - Maintain Composure, Maintain Control

The pandemic and working from home was a full-time adjustment. A year later I am going back into the office. That too is an adjustment because it throws off my home routine. I got into a grove and now I’m adding back in 30 minutes to my day. I have some people working for me that too will head back into the office. I told them it is an adjustment and takes time. They can take the time they need to get adjusted.
