Read: Will You Meet Your Moment?​ YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares Stoic advice on how to tame a vice that even Marcus Aurelius suffered from: procrastination. "Don't be arrogant—be humble. Realize that you cannot assume that you will get six months from now, let alone six years. So while you are blessed with this life, use it."

It's ok, it's alright. You're gonna be fine. You can absorb these blows."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING: " There are two kinds of failure. The first comes from never trying out your ideas because you are afraid, or because you are waiting for the perfect time. This kind of failure you can never learn from, and such timidity will destroy you. The second kind comes from a bold and venturesome spirit. If you fail in this way, the hit that you take to your reputation is greatly outweighed by what you learn. Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done. — The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature by Robert Greene ​SOCIAL MEDIA POST OF THE WEEK: Follow us on social ​​​​​ ​ ​Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 906 Main Street #274, Bastrop, Texas 78602 ​info@dailystoic.com is not a monitored email
