I have debated how to approach this weekend’s game against the New England Patriots. Leaning heavily on Stoicism, I have attempted to see the game as simply a reality birthed by past actions. To not let myself become overwhelmed by passions. Reason tells me we not only control how we perceive the world, but also how we react to it. When misfortune befalls us we do not lament what we did not get, instead we accept the reality and see it as opportunity.
