“He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.” – Seneca.
A Stoic knows that life would not always go as planned.
They knew that upcoming events may be difficult.
But they do not shy away from those thoughts, instead, they embrace them.
Their approach is Premeditatio Malorum which translates to Negative Visualisation.
It is the process of visualising the worst-case scenario, without panic and thinking about how they can handle it calmly.
So today think, what could go wrong today?
Ask yourself – is it in your control?
And – how will you handle it calmly?
