Stoicism isn’t exactly ALL emotions are bad or inappropriate.

Here is a link to help you better understand Stoicism in the philosophical sense. Its a character analyzation but it doesn’t matter if you haven’t read the source material.

This series of articles, and this one especially, have been a great help keeping me centred during my transition from university to the work force in this dismal economy. Great stuff!

I’ve been reading the series on resiliency, and I just want to say “Thanks”. It is so timely. My wife and I both received pink slips last month (we’re teachers in California, so we are in good company) and are having to make some tough decisions about our future. This series has been encouraging for me/us. Thanks again, Brett.

Excellent post. Expectations is a biggy for me personally. I tend to over-expect for certain situations or circumstances which ends up confronting with other people. I do watch them more closely these days but it’s always nice to learn new things in the area – especially this iceberg example – very clear,

@dave

What I hear you saying is that you feel I presented Transference as a universal truth. My intent was to provide an explanation for a theory I believe can be applied to many situations, though not all.

“Does it reaffirm your control over your life to put things into such neat boxes, perhaps? If it works for you, have you considered that it might not work for other people?”

I’d appreciate it if we could keep the discussion based on the issue, rather than personal attacks on my character. However, I would be very interested in hearing more on your take on transference and any information you have against it.

Just as this post came out I had an ‘iceberg’ moment at work. I have to say this article really focused in on a primal fright within which did not have a name. I could have wallowed and given in to fear. Instead I got back up and continued the fight.

After reading the post and reflecting on what I am doing, I worked out the following:

I have a plan
I have backup plan
I can only do my best and there is no shame in that.
I must always move forward.
Integrity above all.

In previous posts, there were discussions of being in charge of your own destiny. I took that to heart because I had been on cruise control for a couple of years. Only after being awaken by events beyond my control did I finally act on the moment. I know now that I can weather the storm. I can only control my reactions and make positive outcomes from inputs. It is hard to be up all the time but the choices I make, keep me sharp, keep me alert, keep me resilient.
