PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: There are going to be moments—years, maybe even decades—of life that make you question just how much a person can possibly take. You'll wonder how you even have any tears left. But there is that inner-citadel within you as well—and if you cultivate it now, reinforce it now, it will be even stronger and more dependable when you need it. Read: How Much Sad Do You Think You Have? YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares Stoic keys to finding tranquility in an ever-chaotic world, such as turning away from the "noise" of technology: "A lot of what disturbs us from our tranquility is not literal noise. It's not the pinging of our phone. It's when we pull up our phone and see what other people are doing, when we have that FOMO or jealousy or we feel inadequate that we're not accomplishing or achieving the way they are. Because what we're forgetting is the path that we're on, we forget what we're trying to do, we forget what's important to us." Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: In a popular episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with comedian Whitney Cummings about how Stoicism has impacted comedy, how she has dealt with addictive behaviors, and the practice of not having an opinion: "Sometimes I go out in the world and I have to just be a person. You don't have to teach everyone all the time, you don't have to show off how much you know. Sometimes you got to just pump the brakes and be okay with not knowing stuff and not forcing it on everybody. Just walk the walk instead of talk the talk."
