PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:
Wisdom is thus not a one-time achievement, but a lifelong pursuit. Only by putting our wisdom into practice do we find our blind spots, do we discover where to refocus our training.
In a recent video on theDaily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan Holiday shares Stoic tips on finding stillness in overwhelming times, beginning with rising above insults and criticism:
"Marcus Aurelius says the best revenge is to not be like that. He says it only harms you if it harms your character. So the unfair criticism, the slander, the insult, whatever it is—that hasn't hurt you. But if you degrade yourself in how you respond, if you sink down to their level, then it in fact has hurt you because it has made you worse."
In a recent episode of The Daily Stoic Podcast, Ryan Holiday speaks with combat fighter pilot Michelle "MACE" Curran on her combat missions in Afghanistan, Aristotle's golden mean, and silencing her ego while flying:
"You don't want to look incompetent, right? For a long time, I thought I was too humble. I wasn't boisterous, I wasn't loud, I wasn't type A and I felt like I had a hard time fitting in in that culture. But in hindsight, I realized that my ego was actually getting in the way because I saw asking questions, asking for help, letting people know I was struggling as weakness."

WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING:
"If you lose a fortune, you can always earn another, he pointed out. But if you lose your good name, you can never get it back."
