**“You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can do nothing for them.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe**

Cue, craving, response, reward.
In “Atomic Habits”, by James Clear, this is the loop process that determines many of our actions.

A large part of the above is the final piece - the reward. We can be reward oriented beings. It’s not a bad thing by itself, but we do find ourselves in trouble when it is the *only* thing.

The quote above gives us something to think about. Some time today, we’ll come across the individual who can offer us the least in return. As in, there won’t be a reward for whatever action we have the option of taking. We’ll know who it is when we see them.

How we act inside that moment is the reality of our character.

**“Do not fear failure. But be terrified of regret.” - Ashley Soughtley Spaulding**
The reality of life is that we will hear more “no’s” than “yes’s”.

And we will fail.

A lot.

But despite the hundreds of doors closed on our phase, the hundreds of times we are told “no way”, they will never haunt us. What we will regret will be the instances where we gave up. Where we told *ourselves” no.

We don’t fear failure… we welcome it. It’s where the learning occurs. Where the real magic happens.

**“The soul is like a bowl of water.” - Epictetus**
It’s ok to get ruffled sometimes.
We are indeed human, and we will get emotional too.

The analogy that Epictetus depicts for us is that even though we can be rocked, knocked around, shaken… through disciplined stillness, we can *always* find emotional stability. The visual is quite relatable: a bowl of water, disturbed from some event, has ripples running throughout it. It’s not at rest.

But with disciplined focus and effort, we can regain stillness. Often faster than we think.
In the moments where we are most shaken, remind ourselves of this visual. No matter how bad things get, everything is recoverable.
