Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of March 18 - 24

​ ​ PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: It's a reminder that for everything outside of our control, we retain—at the core of our being—an incredible power: The power to choose what we do with what happens to us. The power to decide what role an event will play in our lives. The power to write the end of our own story. Read: You Can't Change What Happened, But…​ YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday shares timeless Stoic strategies to become motivated such as structuring your routine, trusting the process, and making the time for what really fuels us: "Marcus Aurelius made time to read. Epictetus was a slave and he managed to read. You have time to read, you just have to make time to read. …It's not that we have a little bit of time, Seneca says, it's that we waste a lot of it — and you're wasting it right now. Put the phone down and go read. If you want to read, then do it — make the time for it."

You never stop and say 'I've got the gratitude thing figured out, don't have to worry about that.' It's a daily practice — you have to do it repeatedly, and like a muscle, you will lose it if you don't keep it up."

" "We all have at least the potential to make more money in the future, we can never go back and recapture time that is now gone. So it makes no sense to let opportunities pass us by for fear of squandering our money. Squandering our lives should be a much greater worry." ​ — Die With Zero: Getting All You Can From Your Money and Your Life by Bill Perkins ​THIS WEEK'S BEST SOCIAL MEDIA POST: Follow us on social ​​​​​ For fans of fast, your solution is right here.
