“What matters most is not what our obstacles are but how we see them, how we react to them, and whether we keep our composure.”
Ryan Holiday

In a challenging work situation, instead of seeing a project setback as a failure, view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. By choosing to stay calm and focused on finding solutions, you maintain a sense of composure and resilience amidst difficulties. Just like a Stoic, approach obstacles with a mindset of adaptability and perseverance.

Romans 5:3-4 speaks about rejoicing in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. This aligns with the Stoic idea of focusing on how we react to obstacles and maintaining composure in the face of challenges, ultimately leading to growth and resilience.
