The modern day Stoic
Reading stoicism is surely a great way to start the day
Ryan Holiday says worst thing to happen is never the event, but the event and losing your head. Because then you’ll have two problems.
We are never tuned how to function in crisis. And your ability to stay calm and patient at times of crisis will make you inevitable.
Cause let's face it, crisis is like a surprise party you never RSVP'd for, and suddenly, you're the deer caught in the headlights. But hold up, here's the golden ticket keeping your head when all about you are losing theirs.
It's like being the 'Captain Cool' of the Indian Cricket team. And no, it's not about having a poker face for your feelings, those wild horses can't be tamed. It's the actions that makes you a North Star.
Yeah, yeah, we're all human, and sometimes life's haywire moments crack us wide open. But guess what? From that mess springs strength. It's all about embracing the ugly cry moments, wrapping your head around the chaos, and then, my friend, filtering it all through the lenses of right and reason.
Expectations, Speculations and Adversity never informs, so, its smart to plan for the worst at start. So, that we are armed before the war and makes sure the damage is less. By not loosing your mind at times of crisis you won't just win at your games but also you will be happy as a person.
