Tested by Fire: Finding Strength in Misfortune

Salutations everyone, it's September the 4th and our intention for today, I am cultivating a spirit of tenacity and courage within me. I am cultivating a spirit of tenacity and courage within me. I am cultivating a spirit of tenacity and courage within me.

For the Daily Stoic: How can you know if you've never been tested? Seneca on Providence reminds us that misfortune reveals our true strength. Those difficult periods become formative experiences that show us what we are capable of and leave us stronger and more resilient.

So today, if things look like they might take a bad turn, don't worry—this could be a trial you'll later be grateful for. Have a good day.
