PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
We don’t have to be corrupted or degraded by the moment we are living in. Marcus Aurelius didn’t. He rose above it. He shone through it. He stayed true. And so must we.
YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
 In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday speaks on the Stoic sentiment of memento mori and taking advantage of life while you have it:
“Someday, you will be dead. But the good news is you are not dead yet. So, how will you spend this day, this life? That is a question you can answer. That is something in your control.” Subscribe to Daily Stoic YouTube
PODCAST TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK:
 In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with Olympian Alexi Pappas on her favorite runs in Bastrop, the universal hunger for knowledge, and how being present now impacts future success:
“You know what I tell [young people]? To assume that it’s going to be successful. To embrace the now, in that case. If you knew you would get what you wanted, you would be more present. You wouldn’t hate this thing so much, and that is usually a harbinger of the good result you want anyway.” Subscribe to Daily Stoic Podcast
