The Fortitude Chronicle: A Weekly Digest of Athletic Determination
Welcome to The Fortitude Chronicle, a weekly newsletter devoted to helping you enhance mental fortitude and conquer life's challenges.
This week, we're shifting our focus to the time-honored philosophy of Stoicism. As individuals striving for inner peace and resilience in the face of life's adversities, it's essential to understand that our equanimity and contentment are often determined not just by external events, but by our inner response, our willingness to accept what we cannot change, and our dedication to acting virtuously in what we can.
In this edition, we will delve into a plethora of insights, reflections, and actionable strategies to help you understand and embody the principles of Stoicism.
Take Action: Challenge Your Comfort Zone
Identify Opportunities: Look for situations that push you slightly outside your comfort zone. It could be anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Embrace the Challenge: Actively decide to take on this new challenge. Remember, the goal is not necessarily to excel immediately but to grow and learn through the experience.
Reflect and Learn: After facing the challenge, reflect on your effort and attitude, not just the outcome. Consider how you reacted to success or failure, and what you learned from the situation.
3 This Week:
One version of confidence is: I've got this figured out.
Another version is: I can figure this out.
The first is arrogant and close-minded. The second is humble and open-minded.
Be humble about what you know, but confident about what you can learn.

Your role might change but your attitude, effort and commitment to the success of the team should never waiver.
Teams that have versatile players willing to do whatever it takes to raise the level of internal competition consistently challenge each other to be at their best.
