Maintain Your Control: Lose Your Control

Written By Ramon B. Nuez Jr.

You have read the books, watched the YouTube videos, listened to several podcasts, and abracadabra – you’re a stoic.

You spout words of wisdom from stoic luminaries such as Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Zeno, and Musonius Rufus.

“The more we value things outside our control, the less control we have.”

“Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.”

“The greatest remedy for anger is delay.”

Then without warning, an idiot cuts you off in traffic, making you spill hot coffee on your new white pants – and the expletives fly.

Stoicism is not about levitating while you are meditating. Stoicism is a philosophy that endeavors to maximize positive and reduce negative emotions.

Over the past 4 years, I have had the extraordinary opportunity to work on several large scale campaigns, including brand ambassadorships with Fortune 100 companies like Verizon. Where I assisted in driving tech conversations online and responding to potential customers about my experience as a longtime Verizon FiOS customer. I am a serial entrepreneur. And while most of my ventures have ended in failure I continue to learn and press on. Today, I am making my journey in becoming a freelance writer and photographer. These are two passions that have always been true to me.
