“You can discard most of the junk that clutters your mind…and clear out space for yourself… by comprehending the scale of the world… by contemplating infinite time… by thinking of the speed with which things change — each part of every thing; the narrow space between our birth and death; the infinite time before; the equally unbounded time that follows.” - Marcus Aurelius

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

There are two dates on your tombstone - the day you are born and the day you die. In between is a narrow dash that marks the time.

We talk about Stoic tips for maximizing the dash on today’s podcast.

“This is our big mistake: to think we look forward to death. Most of death is already gone. Whatever time has passed is owned by death.” – Seneca

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

We are all born with a terminal condition called life. When we live in fear of our natural and unavoidable death, we are paralyzed and prevented from living what remains of our life to its fullest potential.

We talk about reframing our perspective on death on today’s podcast.

“For the only safe harbor in this life’s tossing, troubled sea is to refuse to be bothered about what the future will bring and to stand ready and confident, squaring the breast to take without skulking or flinching whatever fortune hurls at us.” – Seneca

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

Life’s events are beyond our control. And when the storm rages in our daily lives, there is no Coast Guard cutter coming to save us. So, it is on us to develop the mental fortitude to confront whatever challenges arise from the deep with resilience and courage, accepting the twists and turns of fortune without complaint or bitterness.

We talk about the only safe harbor on today’s podcast.
