Be willing to adapt, change and evolve
from The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman
How to Apply This
-
When you are making plans, make contingencies and prepare for the unexpected.
A Stoic’s perspective is realistic and pragmatic—neither the best-case nor the worst-case, but likely a bit of both. -
Cultivate an attitude of flexibility and creativity.
No matter how well you prepare, life is unpredictable. Give yourself the wiggle room to go in a different direction when it’s needed. -
Be humble enough to learn from others and life.
You are allowed to change your mind, especially when it is due to reasoned thought and experience. -
When something isn’t working, change your strategy.
It is a waste of effort and intelligence to keep doing what doesn’t yield results.
