Either way, we didn't get to decide who our mom was, who our dad was, if they got divorced, if they were present, if our step-parents were a blessing or a nightmare. It was all outside of our control.Yet every one of us, as Seneca said, gets to choose whose children we will be.---And in today's Daily Stoic Journal reading, Ryan discusses the importance of musing and meditating on the so-called "worst case scenario" rather than shying away from it in your thoughts.📕 Visit www.dailydad.com/store to preorder The Daily Dad: 366 Meditations on Parenting, Love, and Raising Great Kids!✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail🏛 Check out the Daily Stoic Store for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more, including.📱 Follow us: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, FacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
