Part 5/9:
Practicing emotional control involves pausing before reacting, journaling for self-reflection, and managing our internal state. By cultivating this skill, we not only benefit personally but also inspire those around us through our composure.
5. Cultivating Resilience
Resilience is about bouncing back stronger from setbacks. Learning from failures is fundamental to wisdom. The stoic principle of amor fati—loving one’s fate—encourages us to view every experience, including failures, as a source of strength and learning.
By embracing resilience, as demonstrated by successful entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, we position ourselves as wise leaders capable of navigating the complexities of life with grace.
