Welcome to the Daily Stoke. For each day, we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living good life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoke.com.

Everything is figure outable. We all have problems. We have an employee. We can't figure out how to motivate. We have a kid with behavioral issues.

We have a job we want to leave or couch we want to get up a complicated flight of stairs. We have clients who ask for things that seem impossible and we have trouble fitting in and exercise regimen into our busy lives.

What do we do with all this? How do we handle it? We must repeat to ourselves a beautiful mantra from the writer and entrepreneur Marie Forleo.

Everything is figure outable. Everything is figure outable. Everything is figure outable. Because it's true, the Stoke's knew that it was. Marcus Arelius' meditations is filled with constant reminders that if he just slowed down and put his mind to it, he could figure out just about anything.

Take it action by action he wrote, no one can stop you from that. Are there brambles in the path he asked then go around? If it's humanly possible, he said, then no that it is possible for you.

Think of Epic Titus saying to put each impression, each worry or fear up to the test. It's the same thing. Slow down, really look at it, figure out what to do next.

Every problem has a solution. It's just a fact. It might not be the solution you want, but there is a solution. In fact, that's the essence of the idea that the obstacle is the way.

Each problem presents you an opportunity to move forward to improve. No one said this would be easy or even that it would be fun, but it is a fact that there is some solution to each problem.

The question is only whether you will take it or not. Are there some utterly unsolvable problems in life like death, like cancer? Yes, sure. But Marcus Arelius has that figured out too.

Those problems mark the end of all your other problems, he said. So don't worry about that. In the meantime, get to solving what you can because everything is figure outable.
