Stoicism resonates with so many people (in the developed world) at the moment exactly because it brings balance and perspective - thanks for the reminder. Great article Erik.

Great benefit to considering what could go wrong: it reduces importance and “desperation” in what we are trying to achieve in life. When we consider the possibility of failure, we have the opportunity to think of backup plans and/ or come to terms with the imaginary loss. Life runs from the desperate and runs toward the prepared. Just hoping for the best is poor planning.
