Stoics think about worst case scenarios (premeditatio malorum), here’s why:

- Setbacks are a fact of life
- The unexpected blows fall heaviest
- It’s impossible to prevent something you’re unaware of
- Because we prepared, we see an opportunity where others see an obstacle

@GovTimWalz It’s time for you to take action. Scheduling a phone call with the White House is ineffective. @GovTimWalz

More things to remind yourself of according to Seneca:

Stoic wisdom from Canada’s new Prime Minister “Virtue is like a muscle that grows with exercise. We become just by doing just acts, brave by doing brave acts; when we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows.” @MarkJCarney

An hour w/ @GovTimWalz @sxsw & my main feeling is “this sucks”! We could have had an honest, principled, inspiring leader but the ave. voter picked a felon, womanizer, fake reality TV businessman. Irrigating farmland with Gatorade is just a few cycles away. #ideocracy

Stoics urge us to develop our own character, our own moral compass. So that even if we’re tired, overwhelmed, or frustrated, we can make a decision in the moment that years later we’re proud of, that doesn’t fill us with regret.

“If Costco chose rotisserie chicken as a loss-leader, they are saying profit shouldn’t drive that product. That could be the opening to change to use their scale to make meaningful change. Surprise, they’re failing to rise to that opportunity.” @chloesorvino @FarmToPeople

“You can’t fast grow a company aiming to slow grow its food. You have to commit to the hard long term planning to make it happen” @FarmToPeople @chloesorvino #agribusiness #slowfood

We are right to be disappointed and frustrated with the state of the world.

The moral inversion that has consumed our current political and cultural landscape—is inexcusable. We should fight against it, fight to reform it. At the same time, we never need to despair about good in the world because we have it within us. We can always go back to that well.

Starting today.

What’s in your control:

1. what you do
2. what you say
3. what you think

What isn’t:

1. what other people do
2. what other people say
3. what other people think

Life is tragic. The human condition is fatal. The earth is insatiable. But it’s still pretty in the sunlight, isn’t it?

"The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused)."
