📜 The Ancient Guide for Uncertain Times
Hi friend.
How do you deal with uncertainty? It's pretty easy to make a decision or be happy when you know everything that's going on around you. But uncertainty clouds your vision. It induces stress, anxiety, and a general feeling of not having control.
But the world is full of constant uncertainty. If we want to survive and better yet thrive, we need a framework for operating effectively under uncertainty. Luckily, we don't need any new tools or fancy tricks. All we need is a little ancient wisdom: stoicism.
Stoicism is a practical philosophy that's perfect for dealing with uncertainty as this great article from BBC talks about. It touches upon the classic concepts of stoicism that make it such a great tool: recognizing what you can and can't control, choosing your response, negative visualization, and more. It's a refreshing and positive read in these uncertain times.
Happy learning,
George
