Day 10: A forecast is not a fate

Have a think: A forecast is not a fate

The walk: Prediction can make the future feel closed. Stoic practice accepts the reality already here without surrendering the next responsible choice. Hope works in the same narrow space.

The thought: Joseph finds a life-preserving purpose inside what happened to him. That does not make betrayal good or erase responsibility. It means the past does not get exclusive control of the next act.

A task for today: Offer one constructive action that remains possible. State the uncertainty clearly and promise no outcome you cannot know.
