Rock bottom isn’t the end. It’s the moment you finally get your power back.

Jocko Willink on Diary of a CEO:

When the excuses vanish and you admit “this is all because of me,” it hurts like hell… but it’s also liberating. Because if you’re the cause of your problems, you’re also the solution. Extreme ownership gives you control over your fate.

The Stoics understood this deeply. Epictetus taught that it’s not events that disturb us, but our judgment of them. True freedom begins the second you stop blaming externals and take full ownership. Painful? Yes. But it turns you from a victim of circumstance into the master of your destiny.

In a culture that rewards blame and victimhood, this mindset is revolutionary. It transforms suffering into fuel and rock bottom into a launchpad.

What’s one “rock bottom” moment that ultimately became the turning point in your life?

@hoosierbadboy His dad likely owns a beach and/or lake house. He will take over/ inherit the comforts of that tier of society. Southern women will secure it for themselves this way. Never seen it not be the case.

Charlie Munger, the Stoic: "Life will have terrible blows in it. Horrible blows. Unfair blows. It doesn't matter. And some people recover and others don't."

"There, I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something. Your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion."

Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan CEO: "It's more relaxing to attack the problem than to worry about the problem."

@bigcontentguy The Braves only give bobbleheads to kids. Watching a 50 y/o get the heisman from staff handing them out is so satisfying.

Ted Turner spent 20 years making sure a kid in Montana could watch the Braves. MLB spent 20 years making sure a kid in Atlanta couldn’t

Mood because the Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball
