Welcome to the Daily Stoic podcast, where each day we read a passage of ancient wisdom

designed to help you in your everyday life.

Well on Thursdays, we not only read the Daily Meditation, but we answer some questions

from listeners in fellow Stoics, we're trying to apply this philosophy just as you are.

Some of these come from my talks, some of these come from Zoom sessions that we do with

Daily Stoic Life members, or as part of the challenges.

Some of them are from interactions I have on the street when there happen to be someone

there recording.

But thank you for listening, and we hope this is of use to you.

It's going to take a while, so you need to do this.

It takes a lot of flying time to become a certified pilot.

It takes years on stage for a comedian to learn how to command an audience.

It takes time to get sober, time in therapy, to heal a marriage.

No book is written overnight, and few fortunes are made in one swoop.

Though they start small and accumulate, the power of compounding interests working on

them.

All great things take time.

You know this.

You know where you want to end up, and yet, and yet, still you have not started the clock.

The Stoics say it is foolish to expect figs and winter.

Winter foolish is expecting outputs without the inputs.

Final results without the basic beginnings.
