You may know Ryan Holiday, author of The Daily Stoic and Discipline is Destiny, for his ability to inspire people to rethink their approach to challenges, leadership, and personal growth.
While preparing for his presentation at EO XCentric: Unbridled Fort Worth Conference last month, Ronnie Crowley reflected on a LinkedIn post on Holiday’s mantra of “turning adversity into opportunity.” This principle encourages us to view challenges not as roadblocks but as catalysts for growth, creativity, and resilience.
Perhaps Holiday’s most important rule is to focus on the things that we can actually control—our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Crowley is curious about how others approach obstacles in their work or lives. She wonders:
• Where might we be expending energy on things outside our control?
• How can we redirect that focus toward what truly matters—both personally and professionally?
