Your Saturday Stoic Review — Week of July 15 - July 21

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: We must retain possession of ourselves. We must get a hold of ourselves. No matter what they do to us. No matter how unfair or frustrating life (and bullies) can be. Read: Who Possesses You?​ YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares why the Stoics believed that less is more, along with the only things you'll ever need to live a good life: "Just a few things: a good quote to start the morning, a little song to start the work day, a good poem with lunch, a fine picture next and a few reasonable words spoken over dinner with a friend or a loved one. Do that each day and you will have a happy and wise life."

The anxious thoughts are going to have to be put on the back burner because I have to do my thing that I always do at that time."
