Every day, you have the chance to pick up a tool—a mental tool—that's going to make you more resilient. Not just against the pinch of an empty wallet or the inevitability of death, but against the curveballs life seems to enjoy throwing our way.

What Seneca is nudging us towards is the continuous pursuit of wisdom. It's like adding a new armor plate to your mental resilience each day.

Now, it's not about hoarding nuggets of wisdom like a squirrel with acorns; it's about deep digestion. With the information overload we face every day—articles, posts, videos—it's easy to skim the surface of a hundred topics without truly understanding one.

Seneca advises us to go deeper. Pick one thought, one idea, and really chew on it, ponder it, and apply it to your life. How does today's lesson make you better prepared for what's out there?

Can that one thought help you stay calm in the chaos, anchor you in the present, or make you a kinder person?
