Episode 169: "Can We Remain Positive And Stay Prepared At The Same Time?"

This is an interesting thought I had while listening to Ryan Holiday's interview with Steven Pressfied, on The Daily Stoic podcast. He was asked, "How can someone plan for adversity without being nervous or anxious". His response really made me think about how affirmations and preparedness can be contradictory. On one hand, you want to think nothing but positive thoughts. On the other hand, you are setting up for failure without having a plan in place when adversity hits.
