And in that you can be made better.

Yeah, the Stoics have this great line.

They say, you know, it's not things that upset us.

It's our opinion about things.

And realizing like as an entrepreneur, there's no such thing as a good market or a bad market.

There's no such thing as a good call or a bad call.

There just is.

Life is objective.

And then we have opinions about things.

We put things into categories.

We say, oh, what they said was rude, right?

Or a reporter writes an article about you.

And you go, was it a good article or a bad article?

No, it's just words on a page, right?

And then we decide that we've been helped by it or hurt by it.

And understanding that you have the power to define things and to decide what they mean to you, that's what the discipline of perception is about.

Well, I think when people hear the word stoic, they often think emotionlessness.

I don't think that's what it is.

Were the Stoics trying to be less emotional?

Yes, because we very rarely make good decisions out of emotion.
