PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
So if you want a more fulfilling life, the formula is simple. Start your morning with a good quote. Let a little music energize your workday. Pair lunch with a poem. Admire a beautiful image. And, at day's end, share some thoughtful words with a friend or loved one. Do these small things each day, and you'll find that happiness doesn't demand much. It's not in the more. It's in the enough.
In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares a Stoic meditation on Marcus Aurelius and the one virtue that we all should strive for—generosity.
"The great fortune of his life, Marcus Aurelius says at one point, is not just that he himself has never known serious want, it's that he's been lucky enough to be able to help so many people. The world held up its part of the deal—and he tried to do the same."
n a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with psychotherapist and writer Donald J. Robertson on his new book How To Think Like Socrates, the story behind Socrates' trial, and the benefits of helping others:
"You think it's easier to help the clients than it is to help yourself, but over time you gradually benefit in an indirect way. By helping other people, you spot the mistakes that they keep making and the traps that they fall into and you start to kind of realize that you're probably doing the same thing. They function, to some extent, as a mirror for your own problems over time."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach—waiting for a gift from the sea."
