PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
The real Stoic success strategy, as Marcus Aurelius and countless others have shown, is rooted in character: cultivating integrity, kindness, and purpose in all that you do. When you focus on being a good person—someone others trust, admire, and want to support—you're not just building a career or a reputation, you're building a meaningful life.
In a recent video on the Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares Stoic tips for finding stillness in turbulent times, beginning with doing one good deed at a time:
"Look, there are huge, enormous injustices and problems in the world and each of us as individuals only have so much say over them. But the question a Stoic would focus on is: where do we have impact?…They would say, how can you do good for someone? What is the smallest thing you can do? How can you be a small light in a dark room?"
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with award-winning Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey, who opens up about balancing family life with acting, treating life's choices as experiments, and how he's achieved his greatest successes in his career:
"The most qualitative success I've had in my life are when I'm not asking permission. And not doing so in any anti-way. Just that there's nothing to apologize for so I'm not apologizing and I'm not asking permission. And not even needing to say that part out loud. Just knowing inside that there's no permission going to be asked from me on this."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
"There is always something you can do in the moment today to better your position tomorrow. You might not be able to solve the problem, but your next action will make the situation better or worse. There is always an action you can control, however tiny, that helps you achieve progress."
