Today’s episode emphasizes bringing intention and purpose to every action and meeting adversity with a calm, disciplined mind. Drawing on Seneca’s advice, it shows how preparing the mind in advance takes the sting out of hardship and keeps you steady under pressure.

It also reminds us that in the face of life’s greatest trial—our own death—our best resource is a reasoned, calm mind rather than external comforts. Stay intentional and keep a steady heart.
