Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues,

courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world.

This is how you have to see and respond to things.

You just got the news.

You just figured out that something isn't possible. You just failed. You just got the news, you just figured out that something isn't possible, you just failed,

you just got passed over.

Marcus Reelius wrote about moments exactly like this in meditations.

Something happened, he writes, good.

It was meant for you by nature, he said, woven into the pattern from the beginning instead of lamenting

it instead of fighting it instead of wondering why it went this way instead of that way he's saying we have to

This is the month Marks, Realist, was born, so we just kind of do this deep dive into meditations. And we're kind of doing a book club about meditations, which I'd love to have you join. If you haven't read meditations, you don't

And at the end of the month, right after Mark's Realist's birthday, we're all going to dive in and do a discussion of it together. It's going to be awesome. I can't wait to see you in there. You can sign up right now

and you get it for free if you buy our leather edition of Meditations. Anyways, I'm excited to see you

in there, daily stoic.com slash meditations. I'll tell you about my journey with the book. This is

something we really worked hard on and I think you are going to like. I'll see you in there. Thanks.
