March 30th: Reason in All Things
“Hurry to your own ruling reason, to the reason of the Whole, and to your neighbor’s. To your own mind to make it just; to the mind of the Whole to remember your place in it; and to your neighbor’s mind to learn whether it’s ignorant or of sound knowledge—while recognizing it’s like yours.”
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 9.22
Excerpt From
The Daily #Stoic
Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman
A Stoic is someone who transforms fear into prudence, pain into transformation, mistakes into initiation, and desire into undertaking.

March 29th: Why Do You Need To Impress These People Again?
“If you should ever turn your will to things outside your control in order to impress someone, be sure that you have wrecked your whole purpose in life. Be content, then, to be a philosopher in all that you do, and if you wish also to be seen as one, show yourself first that you are and you will succeed.”
—Epictetus, Enchiridion, 23
Excerpt From
The Daily #Stoic
Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
— Epictetus
"Life is like walking along a long road shouldering a heavy load; there is no need to hurry.
One who treats difficulties as the normal state of affairs will never be discontented.
Patience is the source of eternal peace; treat anger as an enemy.
Harm will befall one who knows only success and has never experienced failure.
Blame yourself rather than others.
It is better not to reach than to go too far."
The testament of #Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1604 is pure #stoicism
March 28th: Cowardice as a Design Problem
“Life without a design is erratic. As soon as one is in place, principles become necessary. I think you’ll concede that nothing is more shameful than uncertain and wavering conduct, and beating a cowardly retreat. This will happen in all our affairs unless we remove the faults that seize and detain our spirits, preventing them from pushing forward and making an all-out effort.”
—Seneca, Moral Letters, 95.46
Excerpt From
The Daily #Stoic
Be so busy building your own life that other people’s bull$#!t is of no concern.
— Ed Latimore
If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.
— Epictetus
