Well, what do we mean by virtue?

The Stoic virtues are really simple.

They're courage, self-discipline, justice, and wisdom.

So when we say that everything's an opportunity, that's what we mean, that

You know, a business setback is a chance to practice self-discipline.

Now you really got to, you know, run this operation lean.

Somebody just stole money from you.

This is a chance to practice justice, right?

Either holding them accountable or forgiving them.

Courage, this is the chance to stand up, to keep going, to put ourselves out there.

And then wisdom is sort of the trump card, I think, here, because wisdom is our ability.

Wisdom always allows us to turn obstacles into opportunities because we can use them as a chance to learn, if only about ourselves, right?

And so that's what the Stoics mean when they talk about how we always have the chance to practice virtue.

Everything is going to demand from us or has a chance for us to demonstrate courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom.

Yeah.

And acceptance, which is what Amor Fati is about.

Amor Fati means a love of fate.

Acceptance can be a hard sell to entrepreneurs because they're sort of like, well, I didn't get here by just accepting things.

And so it feels passive or it feels weak.

But actually, you did get here because of acceptance.
