PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: We must retain possession of ourselves. We must get a hold of ourselves. No matter what they do to us. No matter how unfair or frustrating life (and bullies) can be. Read: Who Possesses You? YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares why the Stoics believed that less is more, along with the only things you'll ever need to live a good life: "Just a few things: a good quote to start the morning, a little song to start the work day, a good poem with lunch, a fine picture next and a few reasonable words spoken over dinner with a friend or a loved one. Do that each day and you will have a happy and wise life." Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: In a popular episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with comedian Chris Distefano on cancel culture, why "garbage time" is a myth, and the importance of creating a routine for yourself: "If I don't have a routine, then I'm just going to sit with my own thoughts for too long with no direction and anxiety….But if I know that at 1:00 I normally go to the gym, at 2:30 I pick up my kids, and at 11:00 I have breakfast, then I know that I've only got 15 minutes until my next thing. The anxious thoughts are going to have to be put on the back burner because I have to do my thing that I always do at that time."
