Welcome to the Daily Stoke Podcast where each day we bring you a passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom

every day 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.

Nothing is unusual. You're going through something horrible. Your first business just went under. Your first book flop. You moved for a job and then you got fired. You've been robbed. You're broke. You're heart broken.

And people are telling you that you'll get through this. It's easy for them to say you think to yourself, but those people are right.

On Mark Maren's podcast, Katie Segal talked about a time in her life where in a short span she lost a stillborn daughter, got divorced, then went broke from the divorce.

The silver lining in those horrible experiences she said is that the next time something horrible happens, you know you can get through it.

And then Mark Maren, who himself has had a tragic year adds, what I've started to realize is that none of it is unusual. It's something that humans go through no matter what it is.

There's nothing that's going to happen to you that's going to be like, that's never happened to a human before. There's something comforting about that, he says.

And that goes from going broke to getting sick to death or whatever. You're not alone as we've talked about a little while back. Whatever you're going through, a human being has gone through.

And that means you can do it too. That's exactly what Marcus Aurelius said also remember he said recognize that if it's humanly possible, you can do it also.

And whatever you're experiencing is human, it has been for centuries. And that's not to say that what you're going through isn't painful.

It's not to say that going through it will be quicker easy, but it is to say that you will get through it. And there's something comforting in that.
