Show notes
Many have turned to the wisdom of the Stoics for inspiration on how to do life on their own terms. In this episode, I read through “50 Very Short Rules for a Good Life from the Stoics” by Ryan Holiday. A few of my favorites from the list:
- 7. Remember you have the power to have no opinion.
- 17. “The best revenge is not to be like that.” –Marcus Aurelius
- 21. Focus on process, not outcomes.
- 35. Make a little progress each day.
- 48. The obstacle is the way.
I think you’ll gain a lot from these if you truly apply them to your lives…one day at a time. Don’t talk about it, be about it. Tune in, won’t you?
