Welcome back to another episode of the mind of George show. Oh, and today's topic. Today's topic is timely. I didn't even know what to title today's topic. So I played with something along planning to win and thriving through setbacks. Also known as in my current life strapping in my seatbelt, tighter to enjoy the ride on the roller coaster because no matter what. Life, business and everything is going to be a ride. And the only way to enjoy it is to see it as a ride take in the sights and sounds as you're going over the Hills and just wait for it to stop, to unbuckle yourself, to look back and figure out what's next. Oh man. Oh, so let me tell you about my day. So what did I have for breakfast?I had a German chocolate cake for breakfast and not even out of a place of stress, but just out of a place of wallet. We are moving. In seven days, six days. And so I tell everybody the joke right now is we are road tripping from California to Montana, with four horses, three snakes, two kids, and one wife, but then come to find out, we're leaving a couple of the horses here, cause we don't want to move them into the middle of Montana in the winter. The snakes are coming with us over a four day road trip with the two kids, hotels, Airbnbs. And once we get to Montana, we're staying in a tree house for three days before we moved to a temporary house for three weeks. And then. Another temporary house for four months while we keep looking for homes, because it's crazy right now. And I've just been laughing a lot and I love it. And it's amazing. And I realized that I've been laughing because the amount of work that I've put in and over the years on being slow fluid versus rigid and understanding this game, and then it's just a game and that there's going to be times that things feel like they're killing me.And there's things that feel like they're weighing my chest out and feel like the world is ending and it's going to feel like there's no option. But there always is. And somehow if I look back on my life, my business, my successes, but also my lessons where I've made lots of money, but also lost lots and lots of money and made business lessons and decisions that weren't supportive or didn't have the ideal circumstances or outcome, then all those feelings were there, but eventually they were gone. And when I look back and reflect, there were lessons aligned with them. And so what I wrote today was how do we plan and thrive through setbacks or potential setbacks? And one of the things that I became a fan of a couple of years ago was stoicism.Reading about stoicism and understanding stoicism and reading Marcus Aurelius and doing a lot of things  and adopting certain takeaways into my life. I am not a big proponent of that as the way, or that's the philosophy or that's the belief system. What I'm a big proponent of is individually all of us becoming students and then taking things that work for us from those different things too, create our own original, unique way of living.And so one of the things that I have really been focusing on and falling in love with his patients and enjoying the ride, and that's literally where today's episode comes from. And so in stoicism, they say momentum, or it's a reminder that you're going to die like that nothing is permanent and that we are on this path, but also to do an inventory of everything in our life and to not leave anything to chance, not leave anything unsaid, to not explore something to literally be like, Hey, this is it. And so what I've taken to adopt out of that is that no matter what happens from this point in my life, in an hour, from now a week from now a month from how I have no control over some circumstances, but I do have awareness that they're going to come.And that they're going to happen and that things are inevitable. And the more aware I am of the entire field that I'm playing on, the better prepared I am, when that situation arises to thrive through it, it was a really good book. I
