I always feel emboldened after reading your carefully crafted posts Hash, thank you! Of course, central to all you/Stoicism advocates is that we focus on ourselves, not comparing our situation with others. Comparison being the thief of joy etc etc. The opposite of what happens when we spend time on Social Media. Substack gets a pass though 🤪
Ooo, I will. Yes, I agree. I think it’s important to create an amalgam of all the wisdoms that we can personally subscribe to so we create the perfect fit for our very individual circumstances. Like the best cakes, using lots of different ingredients!
I hear you 😅, Esther I’m happy and appreciate your feedback. 🌹 Readers like you keep me writing. Btw I’m not specifically stoicism advocate, I’m advocate for every single piece of wisdom that would make the next moment better for any human being. Stay tuned for the upcoming article on Wednesday.
Absolutely. I could’ve used a masterclass in Stoicism at 18…scratch that, it should be a primer in grade school. “It is not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” That Epictetus quote belongs on every classroom wall.
I spent years helping leaders and teams navigate uncertainty, transformation, and culture change. Now I write about what it takes to cross literal and emotional bridges. Fear doesn’t vanish when we do something brave - it walks with us. And still we go.

Whooh 😅 I’m on a diet, now I’m starving a piece of cake. Gotta stay disciplined all my wisdom might fall in front of that cake shop.
