You Don’t Need To Be So Reachable | Practice Gentleness Instead of Anger Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

“Before telephones, before email, before the constant and instant forms of communication we all take for granted, mail was the lifeline of the world. When a mail ship would pull into port in Seneca’s time, anxious and eager citizens would rush to the shore so that they could tear open the letters that brought news and money and the answers to the questions they had sent.”

Ryan explains why Stillness is the key, and reads this week’s meditation from The Daily Stoic Journal, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

Can You Handle This? Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

“You did the right thing. You said what you thought. You produced something valuable. Yet here you are, a day, a month, a decade later, somehow having it all flipped against you. You’re being criticized. You’re being attacked. You’re being made to look like something you’re not. It’s painful. It’s unfair.”

Ryan asks if you’re ready and willing to face what is to come.

There's Two Ways To Go | Doing The Right Thing Is Enough Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

“As Caesar overwhelmed and destroyed the Roman Republic, the Romans had a choice. Neither choice was good, but it was all they had. They could allow it to happen or they could fight. They could ‘accept the bridle,’ as Plutarch put it, and with some humiliation, keep their estates and their status and their life...or they could fight, desperately, hopelessly, against overwhelming odds.”

Ryan explains why standing up for what matters is so important, and reads The Daily Stoic’s entry of the day, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

Criticism is Loud, Respect is Quiet Jul 13, 2021

Show notes

“It can be easy to think you’re going down the wrong path, that you’re making a huge mistake, that nobody gets it, that you’re the only one. The reason for this is simple: We hear a lot more from the people who disagree with us than the people who agree with us.”

Ryan explains why and how you should tune everyone else’s opinion out.
