PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: We are all the products of our influences, our environments, our family and friends. Success is a collaborative effort. Read: No One Is Truly "Self-Made" YOUTUBE TAKEAWAY OF THE WEEK: ​ Over on the ​Daily Stoic YouTube channel, Ryan explores the ways Stoicism can help you master your environment, master your life, and master yourself: "If you don't take the time to really go—'Where am I trying to go? What does that look like? Why am I interested in that? Why is that important? Is that in my control?'—you're not going to be able to make the decisions that will allow you to actually get there. You won't know how to respond properly to the things, the opportunities, and the obstacles that you face along the way."

Once upon a time we had to physically go to stores when we needed things. Then along came Amazon.
