Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a

meditation inspired by the ancient Stoics, something to help you live up to those four stoic virtues of courage,

justice, temperance, and wisdom. And then here on the weekend we take a deeper dive into those same topics we interview stoic philosophers

we explore at length how these stoic ideas can be applied to our actual lives and the challenge and issues of our time.

Here on the weekend when you have a little bit more space when things have slowed down,

be sure to take some time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with your

journal, and most importantly to prepare for what the week ahead may bring.

Hey, it's Ryan. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic podcast.

I did it again.

Well, actually, I think what I did this week's interview my ankle was pretty

severely messed up and then I wasn't feeling any pain on it anymore and I was back to running.

I was taking it easy but I was back to running and I thought all was well.

Then I was walking down the stairs at my house on Friday and oh man I

rolled it so bad I I heard this pop and all these sounds started coming out with health, which I was no longer

in control of and I laid, I just sort of, I just sort of I couldn't stand and I'm on the ground and then eventually my wife came on me and she's like why are you laying on the ground and she's like why are you laying on the ground shivering you know and I think I went into shock I rolled it I

Sprained it maybe the worst I've ever sprayed my ankle in my life and I had a talk.

I've taken the whole family to Kentucky to do this talk to the basketball and football teams.

So, you know, immediate medical care was not

possibility so wrapped it flew did the two talks

finished the dinner I was supposed to go to

went to urgent care.

Thankfully, not broken, but I am out of commission for quite a while.
