PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
Still, we have to figure it out. We have to decide how we’re going to respond. We have to get through it. We have to make the best of it. Which, by the way, is what Marcus Aurelius did. In fact, he became great because of it. Read: This Is What The World Thinks Of Your Dreams
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
 In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares an honest Stoic reminder about the one thing we must do every day—live our lives while we have them.
“We are transitioning always. Some quickly, some more slowly. Everything is tinged with a kind of dying, everything is a phase—including the life we’re lucky enough to live right now.” Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube
PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with writer and children’s programming producer Kenny Curtis on teaching mythology to kids and understanding why these ancient stories have stuck around for generations:
“The stories themselves are transcendent not just because they’re old and other things have been based upon them, but because they are universal in their truth….What makes them so appealing, I think, is this universal connectedness to these ideas and experiences that are simply at the basis of humanity.” Subscribe to Daily Stoic Podcast

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
“Let's talk about you for a moment, the person reading these lines….At any moment, you can avert your gaze from these lines and return to the action and movement of the outside world. But in the meantime, you remain on the edge, in the place where you've chosen to be. There is an almost magical aura to the act of reading.” — Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World by Irene Vallejo
