Managing Expectations

Here in Florida we are right smack in the middle of the dreaded "cone of uncertainty"! All Floridians are very familiar with the cone!

Two relevant quotes for today's insights are-

"Fortune falls heavily on those for whom she's unexpected. The one always on the lookout easily endures." Seneca

"Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it- turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself- so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal." Marcus Aurelius
