PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: Don't think about it. Don't focus on fame or a monument to your success. Don't try to make sure everyone knows how important or wonderful you are. Just try to be good. Focus on the day in front of you. Live it well, live it according to your values. Leave the legacy—whether it happens or not—for whatever happens or not. Read: The Anthem of (Y)our Dying Day
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube Channel, Ryan Holiday discusses some Stoic strategies to building resilience such as accepting our fate and training ourselves to push past our limits: "Seneca says that we treat the body rigorously so that it's not disobedient to the mind. And of course, we're training ourselves, we're training our muscles physically, but we're also building the muscle that makes us do stuff day-to-day that runs the marathon of life. We're developing the ability to push ourselves, to demand stuff from ourselves — and that's the ultimate race, that's the competition. Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube
PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:  In a popular episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks creator and entrepreneur Brent Underwood on his new book Ghost Town Living (we have limited-edition signed and number copies at the Painted Porch!), working as Ryan's first intern, and how he used Stoicism to bounce back from a devastating fire at Cerro Gordo: "[Stoicism] was kind of what I grabbed onto, and I would repeat that phrase, 'What happens next is up to you.' It was just Stoicism repackaged, but it was the only thing that almost got me through that fire, holding onto that phrase tightly."
