Stoicism at work…
- I don’t need to have an opinion about that
- Manage my expectations
- Never shocked or surprised
- Hope for the best, plan for the worst
- If it can be taken from me, I don’t truly own it (salary, status, reputation, job, etc)
- Don’t speak unless what I’m going to say isn’t better left unsaid
- Pick my battles carefully
- Know that people don’t make mistakes deliberately
- Learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others
- Focus my energy on what I have complete control over
- Everyone is better than me at something
- Focus on the person, not the problem
- Know that I could be wrong
- Don’t take things personally
- Don’t take myself too seriously
- Don’t let fear control me
- It’s not about me
