Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of February 26 - March 3

​ ​ PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: The hope is really our sense of our capacity. It's the confidence that comes from being tested and passing that test. It's knowing that we really can wrestle with the toughest stuff that life can throw at us. Pandemics, the whiplash of the market, extreme weather events, political unrest, personal disasters, tragedy, heartbreak. We've been through it. We're still here. We've suffered and that suffering has produced character, character that gives us hope, gives us faith, gives us strength. Read: It's Producing Something Good​ YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday shares the way Marcus Aurelius lived through a lifetime defined by floods, plagues, and wars — not by resenting it, but rather by accepting the hardships, and using them as fuel for the future: "While we should never accept injustice or give up hope, we do need to accept it's time to buckle up. It's not going to be an easy ride. The bill is not going to be cheap. Somebody is going to have to pay it, and like Marcus Aurelius, in our own lives that person is us. So, tell them to put it on your tab, and start getting to work on it."

I just want to hang out with my kids and go for a walk', and you really have to fight back against the natural urges."
