Designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues courage, discipline, justice and wisdom into the real world. Why are you surprised? Your boss, who is a jerk, pulled a jerk move. Your mother, who is passive aggressive, said something
passive aggressive. That dishonest politician lied. That loud neighbor was loud. The surprising thing about all this is that you were surprised. How could you not have seen this coming? That sort of person was bound to do that, Mark Strauss writes in meditations. You might as well resent a fig tree for secreting juice. Why are you letting it catch you off car? Why are you taking it personally? This is what they do, she is saying. Think about all the hours
we waste talking about what they did. All the nights we toss and turn at 2 a.m. Replanet. All the
energy we give we live in, what they were always going to do. Instead of marveling at it and
lamenting it, we should focus on being the kind of person that doesn't get rattled by this. We should focus on being the kind of person who is bound to do and be something very different
βthat it's to say kind and empathetic, honest and respectful. That's what our character hasβ
faded for us and we should work hard to live up to it. Everyone else, let them be exactly who they've shown you they are. By the way, if you've ever said I really want to read meditations. I'm curious about this Mark Strauss guy you keep quoting well. Maybe today is the day it is the final day in meditations month. We've been celebrating the great man's birthday the last 30 days. He was born almost 2,000 years ago this month. We've been doing a deep dive in the meditations. We just finished
a Q&A. We did about them. People from all over the world have been reading meditations with us.
Some of them it's been their first time. Some of them it's been their 50th time and if you've been
meaning to pick it up we've got a great how-to guide for you've got great additions and meditations including the leather bound addition which is my favorite. You can grab all of that including the
βthe recording of the Q&A. I answer some, I think, pressing and comment questions about meditationsβ
there and that you can grab all that at dailystoke.com/meditations.
