Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're stressed because you think you control everything. No, I'm
stressed because things keep going wrong. Exactly, you're trying to
control outcomes. So what I should just stop caring? No,
you care about your actions, not the result. That sounds
like an excuse to be passive. It's the opposite. It
forces you to execute harder. How tell me more, because

(00:23):
now there's no distraction, no blaming, no overthinking. So I
just focus on what I can actually do right, effort, discipline, decisions,
and just ignore everything else. Control what's yours, let go
of what isn't. That's actually freeing. That is the essence
of stoic power.
