June 10th: You Can Do It
“If you find something very difficult to achieve yourself, don’t imagine it impossible—for anything possible and proper for another person can be achieved as easily by you.”
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.19
Excerpt From

Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman
We are what we repeatedly do… excellence, therefore, isn’t just an act, but a habit and life isn’t just a series of events, but an ongoing process of self-definition
— Aristotle
Alone, you will be broken. But with a tribe? You are dangerous. You are defended. You are multiplied.

June 9th: Solve Problems Early
“There is no vice which lacks a defense, none that at the outset isn’t modest and easily intervened—but after this the trouble spreads widely. If you allow it to get started you won’t be able to control when it stops. Every emotion is at first weak. Later it rouses itself and gathers strength as it moves along—it’s easier to slow it down than to supplant it.”
—Seneca, Moral Letters, 116.2b–3a

Trust in your money and down you go!
But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
— Proverbs 11:28
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
— Rumi
