Focus on effort, not outcomes.

It’s insane to tie your wellbeing to things outside of your control, Marcus Aurelius said. If you did your best, if you gave it your all, if you acted with your best judgment—that's a win…regardless of whether it’s a good or bad outcome.

5 Things All Fools Do (From The Stoics):

1/ Care what other people think (Epictetus)
2/ Wait until tomorrow (Marcus Aurelius)
3/ Act like they’re going to live forever (Seneca)

5 Stoic lessons from Seneca:

1. We suffer more in imagination than in reality
2. Associate only with people who improve you
3. The greatest remedy for anger is delay
4. Value your time more than your possessions
5. Death is not in the distant future. We are dying every day

Success can be dangerous.

It has a tendency to shut our eyes to opportunity and cover our ears to the ideas of others.

5 years ago today The Daily Stoic came out. I had no idea this book about an obscure school of ancient philosophy would do what it has done. Makes me so happy to get to pay forward all the joy and wisdom the Stoics have brought to my life.

When in doubt, write it out. I like to write out my problems, questions, issues, and concerns. It helps me digest complex issues, brainstorm solutions, and get where I want to go.

Discomfort isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it’s our default human state.

And it serves a purpose: The discomfort of wanting things to be better prompts us to make important changes.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Before the pandemic, many managers got away with a narrow focus on performance at work.

Now, I hope more are recognizing that they can't afford to ignore well-being in life.

You don't get quality work when people are struggling with quality of life.
