Solve The Problem First
20 mar 20242 min<p>Yeah, it’s frustrating. Yeah, it was preventable. Yeah, you told them it was preventable, you warned them what would happen. They didn’t listen and now here you are. Yeah, it’s gonna be costly. Yeah, you’re pissed.</p><p>But you know what you should do? You should solve the problem first. You can put your emotions about it aside. You can worry about blame later. “You don’t have to turn this into something,” Marcus Aurelius wrote in <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations</em></a>. “It doesn’t have to upset you.” He also writes about how easy it is to waste energy investigating the causes of things, taking things personally, extrapolating out what everything means. He’s saying: Just deal with it. Solve the problem, worry about ‘accountability’ later.</p><p>Right now, you’ve got to figure out what you’re going to do about the fact that your spouse left the keys at home. Right now, you’ve got to deal with the fact that one of your kids is hurt and crying—that your other one is responsible can be addressed later. Right now, you’ve got payroll to meet, you’ve got an order that’s late, you’ve got a boat to get on the trailer. Get your emotions under control, resist the urge to argue and fight about the situation you’re in. Deal with the fact you’re in the situation first. You can deal with the rest later.</p><p>…and you just might find, after you’ve solved the problem, that you don’t much care about whose fault it was anymore.</p><br><p>✉️<strong> Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: </strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a> for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

You Can’t Change What Happened, But… | 13 Ways A Stoic Challenges Themselves Every Day
19 mar 202417 min<p><br></p><p>With a business partner, some investors, and his life savings, Brent Underwood bought the abandoned mining turned ghost town, Cerro Gordo, in 2018.</p><p>The plan was to bring the town back to life, to turn the 336 acres and 22 buildings into a historical destination. That plan largely revolved around the American Hotel, the literal and metaphorical center of town. But then on June 15, 2020, 149 years to the day it opened, the American Hotel caught fire and burned to the ground.</p><p>“It was probably the most devastating day of my life,” Brent would recall. “You are literally watching your life savings and hopes and dreams burn in front of you.” As he stood atop the ashes, the town’s previous owner put his hand on Brent’s shoulder. “You can’t change what happened,” he told Brent, “but what happens from here is up to you.” More than just providing comfort, Brent wrote, those words were “a call to action.”</p><p>It’s a reminder that for everything outside of our control, we retain—at the core of our being—an incredible power: The power to choose what we do with what happens to us. The power to decide what role an event will play in our lives. The power to write the end of our own story.</p><p>No one can take that away from us. People can hurt us. Money can be lost. Jobs can disappear. Cars can crash into each other. Stoicism can’t change what happened. No philosophy is a time machine.</p><p>But what we can do, what the Stoic practice is meant to help us do, is to prevail over what happened, and decide what comes next.</p><br><p><em>You can read about what Brent did after the American Hotel burned down in his new book </em><a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/ghost-town-living-mining-for-purpose-and-chasing-dreams-at-the-edge-of-death-valley?_pos=2&_sid=d80b43b58&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Ghost Town Living: Mining for Purpose and Chasing Dreams at the Edge of Death Valley</em></a><em>. It’s just one of the many lesson-packed stories in the book about Brent’s time at Cerro Gordo. From facing isolation and the challenges of preserving historical integrity to confronting physical dangers like mine shafts and the elements, Ghost Town Living is story of adventure and tenacity, as well as a call to chase after audacious dreams, defy the conventional, and devote yourself to your own the pursuit of an extraordinary life.</em></p><br><p><em>✉️</em><strong> Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: </strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a> for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Do This While You Can | The Portable Retreat
18 mar 202412 min<p>It’s funny, over here at Daily Stoic, we do these <em>challenges</em> throughout the year (maybe you’ve joined one before)<em>.</em> On the one hand, this name is probably bad marketing. People don’t usually get excited by the thought of being challenged. In fact, what they usually want is a secret or a shortcut or a hack. They want someone to solve the challenges for them. On the other hand, isn’t <em>embracing life’s challenges</em> what Stoicism is all about? So naturally, we couldn’t call the <a href="https://dailystoic.com/spring/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</a> anything <em>but</em> that. It <em>is</em> a challenge. 10 days straight of them. Starting <strong><em>now</em></strong><em>.</em></p><p>So yes it’s been a long December, but as the song also reminds us, there’s reason to believe that this year will be better than the last. And that reason is <em>you</em>—if you allow yourself to be, if you challenge yourself, if you decide to climb out of your velvet rut. A person who has never been challenged, Seneca said, who always gets their way, is a tragic figure. They have no idea what they are capable of. They are not even close to fulfilling their potential. “Stop wandering about!” Marcus Aurelius said to himself, perhaps on the eve of a new season just like this one. “Get busy with life's purpose,” he commanded, “toss aside empty hopes, get active in your own rescue–if you care for yourself at all—and do it while you can.”</p><p>And so as the seasons change, as the clocks change, we want to urge you one last time to join us and thousands of other Stoics in <a href="https://dailystoic.com/spring/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</a>. Because one of the best ways to cure anxiety, to deal with stress, and to become present is to really throw yourself into some means of self-improvement. Stop procrastinating. Break out. Break free. Get cleaning. <em>Challenge</em> yourself.</p><br><p>✉️<strong> Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: </strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a> for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Every Day Is A Chance For This | The Present Is All We Possess
15 mar 202411 min<p>That was the purpose behind Stoicism, behind the journaling, and the reading, and studying of this philosophy, behind the <a href="https://dailystoic.com/spring/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</a> (which starts on Tuesday, the first day of spring)—to use each day as an opportunity to improve yourself action by action, step by step. This might not seem like much, as Zeno said, but it adds up to no small thing.</p><p>Every one of us wants to improve, wants to be better, wants to have better habits, live better, think better. But most of us wait to launch that business, write that novel, develop that fitness routine, to do what we know is right. We’ll do it when we’re more secure, we say, we’ll do it later, or in the fall, or next year, when things get back to normal. But putting things off is the biggest waste of life, Seneca reminds us. It snatches away the present in exchange for some promised future.</p><p>Every day is a new season. Every day is spring, whatever hemisphere you’re in. Every day is a chance for a new beginning. That every day we awake, we can choose a new life, a new way, to rededicate ourselves to becoming the best versions of ourselves.</p><p>As we’ve been saying, this is a chance to begin <em>afresh, afresh, afresh.</em> <strong><em>And that’s what we’re all going to be doing in the </em></strong><a href="https://dailystoic.com/spring/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</em></strong></a><strong><em>. It’s designed to push you to examine those parts of your life, those habits, those choices that could move you closer to living your best life.

Don’t Rush Through This | Ask DS
14 mar 202413 min<p>Seneca makes the point, however, that what we are really rushing towards—with all deliberate speed—is <em>death.</em> That’s what he means when he says that we get death wrong. Death is not some distant thing in the future, not some one-time thing that looms ahead. Instead, <em>death is something happening to you right now.</em> It’s happening as you read this email (hope it’s been worth it!), it’s happening as you struggle to put your daughter’s shoes on so you can drop her off at school and then it’s happening still more as you sit down to that coffee meeting you rushed to even though you didn’t want to have it in the first place. It happens as you procrastinate, it happens as you distract yourself, it happens as you make bad choices, it happens as you worry and dread and whine.</p><p>And that’s why we created <a href="https://dailystoic.com/spring/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>The Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</em></strong></a>. It’s a set of ten brand-new actionable challenges designed to push you to examine your choices, your relationships, and your day-to-day patterns and move you closer to living your best life.</p><p>“Remember how long you’ve been putting this off,” Marcus Aurelius writes, “how many extensions the gods gave you, and you didn’t use them.” He reminds us “that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don’t use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return.”</p><p>Don’t rush through life, don’t rush toward death.

You Gotta Be Able To Do This

He endured more than most people. <a href="https://dailystoic.com/stoic-response-power/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">He had more power than most people</a>—and wore it more lightly.

Newt worships the ground the man walks on, believing he isn’t like the rest of them. And in a sense, he isn’t. The Captain can ride further and faster, is more principled, less afraid, tougher than everyone on the Plains.</p><p><a href="https://dailystoic.com/dont-make-this-mistake/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">We know Marcus Aurelius made mistakes</a>. We know he paid lip service to admitting error in <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations</em></a>, to not continuing in error just because you began in one. But how good was he in practice? It’s less clear. He was wrong about his son Commodus for example. <a href="https://dailystoic.com/always-be-humble-and-kind/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Was he too proud to admit this</a>? Here, or elsewhere, <a href="https://dailystoic.com/dont-make-this-mistake/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">did he have trouble owning that he was just like everyone else</a>?

For as long as there have been armies, people have tried to use them to conquer, to rule, to accumulate empires.</p><p>Was it worth it? <a href="https://dailystoic.com/treat-it-all-the-same/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Did they enjoy it?</a> Did it mean anything? Few, if any of them, ever bothered to honestly answer that question. This is what makes Marcus Aurelius’ <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations</em></a> such a remarkable and unprecedented text. Here you have the most powerful man in the world, head of the most powerful army on earth, a victorious general whose triumphs warranted an 130-foot tall marble column lauding his achievements. And what did he say that all this amounted to?</p><p>Not much! <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations</em></a> is Marcus Aurelius’ refutation of the idea that you should want to rule the world. It strips it of its glamor and delusions (literally at one point, Marcus breaks down the feast he was given, removing, he said, “the legends that encrust it”). Being famous is empty, he tells us. <a href="https://dailystoic.com/remember-its-all-ephemeral/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Being remembered is worthless</a>. Power is corrupting and an immense burden.</p><br><p>✉️<strong> Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: </strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a> for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

You Aren’t Killing Time. Time Is Killing You | Ryan Holiday Answers On Ego And Mentorship
7 mar 202419 min<p>Seneca reminded himself that death is not this thing in the future, but something that is happening now. It is always happening. It is the ticking hand of the clock.

Can You See This In It?
6 mar 20242 min<p>Seneca was exiled to what he felt was a rock in the middle of the ocean. He hated it. He thought it was torture. And of course, it was unfair that he was sent there—on trumped up charges no less—and it would have been <a href="https://dailystoic.com/you-are-not-alone/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lonely and sad</a> to be so far from his family.</p><p>Yet it is a little funny that the place he was sent to, Corsica, is a beautiful vacation spot for people all over the world today.</p><p>Seneca couldn’t see that, just as perhaps you can’t <a href="https://dailystoic.com/you-must-look-beneath-the-surface-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">see what’s just underneath</a> the rough exterior of the situation you’re in. <a href="https://dailydad.com/we-keep-this-from-our-kids/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">We’ve talked before</a> about the Maggie Smith poem <em>Good Bones</em>. It takes a certain eye to be able spot what others are too depressed or too cynical or too devastated to see.</p><p>Think of the settlers and developers who were able to see what later became bustling cities in the uncultivated land. Think of the people who were able to see the potential for renewal and growth in a run down neighborhood. Think of the leaders <a href="https://dailystoic.com/embrace-the-uncertainty/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">who saw a future</a> in an organization or franchise that everyone else gave up on.</p><p>We can forgive Seneca for his moments of <a href="https://dailystoic.com/feeling-sorry-is-unnatural/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">self-pity and doubt</a> and hopelessness. It would happen to the best of us. We can also learn from what he missed by focusing on that. We can try to see the good bones, the better future, the potential in the situation we’re in.

Do Not Miss This Reminder | This Single Word Will Give You Back Your Life
5 mar 202415 min<p>Spring is the most beautiful of the seasons. Suddenly, after a dreary winter, the colors come back. The birds are out. The days last longer. The breeze is light and the air is cool.</p><p>But as Phillip Larkin’s bittersweet poem reminds us, beneath this turning of the seasons is a kind of darkness.</p><p><em>The trees are coming into leaf</em></p><p><em>Like something almost being said;</em></p><p><em>The recent buds relax and spread,</em></p><p><em>Their greenness is a kind of grief</em></p><p>The inherent grief is the passage of time. Each season brings new life, yes, but also marks the cessation of life. It’s a painful truth, the poem points out, written in the rings of the tree. Winter is dead and over…and all of us a little more so too.</p><p>This notion serves as a gentle nudge, reminding us of the preciousness of every moment. It urges us not merely to exist but to truly live, to seize each season and extract its full potential. It’s saying don’t let a new season come and go without <em>springing forward with it</em>—not just meeting it, but making something of it. If you’re up for that, why don’t you spring forward with us and the <a href="https://www.dailystoic.com/spring" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</a>?</p><p>Interested in Daily Stoic Life? <a href="https://www.dailystoiclife.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here.</a></p><br><p>✉️<strong> Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: </strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a> for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

No One is Self-Made | What Expensive Things Cost
4 mar 20248 min<p>Marcus Aurelius opens <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations</em></a> reflecting upon what he has learned from various influential individuals in his life. It’s titled “Debts and Lessons,” and the 17 entries spanning nine pages and more than 2,000 words make up nearly 10% of the entire book! Marcus writes with the humility of someone in the final act of their life taking stock of how lucky they are to be where they are.</p><p>It’s beautiful. And it totally dispenses with the notion of the "self-made man," the idea that someone got somewhere all on their own. Marcus knew he was a product of so many mentors, influencers, advisors and teachers. <em>Debt</em> is the operative word in that title—he owed them so much.</p><p>When we talked to Arnold Schwarzenegger on a <a href="https://dailystoic.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-on-finding-ways-to-be-useful/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent episode of the Daily Stoic podcast</a>, he talked about this very idea (in fact, he references how inspired he was by <em>Meditations</em> in the final chapter of his fantastic new book <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/be-useful-seven-tools-for-life" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Be Useful</em></a>). Because on the surface Arnold Schwarzenegger’s remarkable life story is a <a href="https://dailystoic.com/turn-the-colors-on/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">classic example of that idea of the “self-made man.”</a> Born and raised in a small village in Austria, <a href="https://dailystoic.com/you-need-to-have-a-vision/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seemingly on his own sheer will and determination</a>, Arnold achieved extraordinary success in the worlds of bodybuilding, acting, business and politics, ultimately becoming a global icon.</p><br><p><em>P.S. “I have always learned more from my failures and therefore I was never afraid of failure,” Arnold Schwarzenegger </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYbrhz7xjjc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>said while on the Daily Stoic podcast.</em></a><em> The ultimate example in the power of hard work and perseverance, Arnold shared his wisdom in being useful while you still can, how to transform your liabilities into assets, and tips to best nurture both your mind and body.

Are You Too Much Of A Coward? | Where Philosophy Begins
1 mar 20249 min<p>It’s good that you’re tough. It’s good that <a href="https://dailystoic.com/will-you-be-a-fighter-or-a-fencer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">you’re a fighter</a>—maybe even trained in wrestling, as so many of the Stoics were.

There’s a <a href="https://genius.com/Passion-pit-take-a-walk-lyrics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">great song</a> that talks about “being too much a coward to admit when you’re in need.” Marcus Aurelius makes a similar note to himself in <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/meditations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Meditations</em></a>, reminding himself that even the bravest, toughest soldiers sometimes have to reach a hand up and ask a comrade for help. <em>What of it,</em> he basically says, that’s part of the job too.</p><p>-</p><p>In today's <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/ryan5?_pos=1&_sid=abdbcc08d&_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic</a> excerpt, Ryan reminds us that philosophy is intimidating, that we begin our journey into philosophy when we become aware of the ability to analyze our own minds. </p><br><p>You can grab the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/products/the-daily-stoic-leatherbound-signed-edition" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">leatherbound edition of The Daily Stoic here</a>.</p><p>✉️<strong> Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: </strong><a href="http://dailystoic.com/dailyemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail</a></p><p>🏛 Check out the <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Daily Stoic Store</a> for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.</p><p>📱 Follow us: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dailystoic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daily_stoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dailystoic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
