The Obstacle Is the Way

Can't say I've ever studied the stoic's before, but I enjoyed the perspective of this book. The bottom line is how you can take anything - good, bad, or ugly - and leverage it for good (even if the “good” is just education of what not to do next time...). While it's not written from a Christian perspective, it is in line with my beliefs that God is quite capable of doing just that on a larger scale (Rom 8:28).

It has made me stop and pause when things don't go my way (even the smallest things) about how I can turn it around to my benefit. It's largely a matter of attitude.
