The 5 AM Club

<ul><li>Art of Acquiescence - to accept rather than fight every little thing</li><li>In Stoicism, instead of accepting what happens, we must enjoy what has happened - whatever it is.</li></ul>

Accepting What is

Amor Fati [A love of fate]It's not just accepting, it's loving everything that happens.

No matter how much preparation, no matter how skilled or smart we are, the ultimate outcome is in the lap of the gods. The sooner we know that, the better we will be.<ul><li>However, actions still play an important role because you miss 100% of the shots you do not take.</li><li>Even when we fail, we become more resilient and wiser, which increases our chances even further as we strive and work harder.</li></ul>
