@RyanHoliday This is what I needed this AM as I brood in anger. Thank you, sir. This is yet another day that your words have helped me. And it is you that brought stoicism to my awareness and it is helping me greatly. Thank you.
"Just stick to your principles. And rest assured that, if you remain true to them, the same people who made fun of you will come to admire you." Epictetus
"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances." Viktor Frankl
Life is short.
And if life is short, then moving quickly matters. Launch the product. Write the book. Ask the question. Take the chance.
Be thoughtful, but get moving.
"Let us prepare our minds as if we'd come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life's books each day... The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time." Marcus Aurelius
