Day 93/365: Seneca on the special characteristic
Logan
April 03, 2025
Welcome to The Stoic Ledger, a daily money meditation from one of the Stoic sages.
93/365: Seneca on the special characteristic
“Success comes to the lowly and to the poorly talented, but the special characteristic of a great person is to triumph over the disasters and panics of human life.” – Seneca
Disasters and potential disasters bring fear and panic. Panic leads to poor decisions, poor outcomes. Fear does too.
Our job is to adopt Seneca’s special characteristic and persevere through the disasters and the difficulty and the panics that will come.
No question of if, but one of when.
