YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a new video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday discusses how running is the most physical, yet philosophical part of his routine. By pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones, we are better prepared for the future with a stronger mindset and a greater capacity to do the right thing:
"It's about asserting that dominance. It's about seeing what's on the other side of that sacrifice and that difficulty. And what's usually on the other side is a greater capacity- you're stronger than you thought, you have more endurance than you thought you did, you just have more in you period than you thought you did."

PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent episode of the Daily Stoic podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with writer, illustrator, blogger, and entrepreneur Tim Urban on why they like writing so much, why everyone who wants to improve at something should aim to do it slowly, and what it really means to "trust the process":
"You put your mind to something. You move, you go in some ups and downs. And then, boom - look what happens at the end. You get there, or if you don't get there, you realize that failing was kind of cool - it was kind of a fun experience."

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
"It's madness to sweat every screw up. To get angry at every incurred fee or replacement. To take any of it personally. It's torture to yourself and to the people who work for you. You have to accept it, practice what the Stoics call the 'art of acquiescence,' for a reasonable amount of it. You have to focus on growing the business on a whole, in fact understanding that as you grow the business, the shrinkage and defect and failure and fraud increases alongside it. Such is life and we must pay its corresponding taxes."
