Our lives are unpredictable. We are at the mercy of so many forces. The weather. The economy. Your boss's mood. Your teenager's mood. Whether the contractor finishes the job in time. Whether that idiot in front of you drives correctly.
People can mess up our day. They can mess up our margins. They can imperil our safety.
It has always been thus.
Marcus Aurelius opens Book II of Meditations with a meditation on precisely this—preparing himself in the morning for what he's likely to encounter. He didn't control other people or external events, he understood, but he did control whether he allowed them to change who he was, whether he allowed them to "implicate [him] in ugliness," as he put it. He controlled how he responded.
It's not much...but it's plenty. The paradox is that the more we control ourselves, the more we end up shaping the world around us. That's why when we focus on what's in our control, on what's up to us, we find it's more than enough. Not only does it become our hidden superpower—it's also our secret source of peace.
Your reputation is on the line when your personal data is discoverable online.
Before you apply for a loan, banks can check out your financial history. Before you get accepted for a job, hiring managers can review your political affiliation or how many children you have.
How's this possible? Data brokers expose more than just your history—they contain public records, property details, family links, and even your political views.
Maybe it's harmless, or maybe it roadblocks your next major opportunity.
With Incogni Unlimited, you can eliminate the fear that a recruiter, stalker, or fraudster will ever find your details online—from Google search results, Whitepages, directories, and more.
