Fascinating article Alex! Your words on choice and the ability to see the optionality in all that we think, see and do are inspiring. I look forward to holding more of these positions in my own life

I really enjoyed reading this article. I see a lot of myself in everything you said. I have worked so hard on myself for many years, my childhood wasn’t great, I had to accept what happened to me. I decided there on what I can do for myself. I made this decision when I was about 10 years old. I’ve been through a lot but I keep doing, working, living and loving people. The people closest to me admire this and always ask how do you do it? How can I be as resilient as you? It took me many years to be this person. It wasn’t easy but I think I have the answer for them now. I’m just going to forward this to them. Truly inspiring.

Hi Alex, I'm interested in how you feel these ideas differ from stoicism?

many ideas are inspired by- or overlap with stoicism for sure.

Stoicism isn't a blueprint - it's a contributing philosophy.

I used to think I was broken. I thought something inside me was missing. I felt like a fundamental piece of me was just one.

I finally realized that none of the above is true. I'm not broken. Nothing inside me is missing. I'm a whole damn person and there is nothing wrong with me. It's a special feeling to know that. I wish everyone who felt broken could see that.
