“The path of wisdom is to go with the flow, to not resist the way that fortune is unfolding, to always recognize that I can choose how I respond to external events and I can choose whether I am harmed or not.”

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my daily Stoic morning journal routine, explaining how I organize my journal to set my day for success, remember what is valuable, and ensure that I act with resilience and tranquility.
