“I just got fired.”

CTL · Pillar III — Control CTL-VIII · Redirect Immediately

Losing a job is a shock. The next move is still yours. You can't undo what happened — but you decide what happens next, starting right now.

Your Practice

Today: update your resume, reach out to one contact, or research one concrete option. Pick one. Do it before the day ends. The redirect starts with a single action — not tomorrow, now.

The Architects

“We must make the best use that we can of the things which are in our power, and use the rest according to their nature.”

— Epictetus, Discourses, Book I, ch. 1 (George Long translation)
