PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
You’re better than that. Time is too short for that. Wake up. Stop it. Show up. Be the person philosophy tried to make you. See what it tried to show you.
This week on theDaily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday goes over Stoic lessons that have gone viral and why they’re so life-changing:
"Are we going to see ourselves as coming from a position of weakness or from a position of strength? That's on you. You decide that. You control the attitude, the approach, the energy that you bring to a situation, and that will make you much more successful in those situations.”
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan speaks with classicist Inger Kuin about Diogenes—“the punk philosopher”—who wasn’t a Stoic, but without whom Stoicism wouldn’t exist:
“Somebody goes up to Diogenes and said, ‘well, you're saying this now, but you used to say this.’ And he goes, ‘yeah, well, there was a time I used to piss my bed.’”

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
“The amount of screen time your child has is not inversely proportional to your success as a caregiver.”
The Stoics believed that the four virtues are interdependent and you need them all. See how Dorothy and her companions become a metaphor for a complete Stoic character.
