Summary

"You’ve been kicked around by life, that’s true. Where other people had it easy, you’ve had to struggle. You didn’t get into the college you wanted, your parents couldn’t buy you a car, you had to wear glasses. You’ve watched as other people hit it out of the park on their first try, getting breaks that you’ve had to work your ass off for. You’ve been insulted. You’ve been fired. You’ve been crapped on and you’ve been brought to tears. 

It’s unfair, you say. It’d be better if it had been otherwise. 

Is that true? Do you know that for a fact?"

Ryan discusses what going through a struggle can teach you in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
