Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. Make Stoicism translatable for us right now. Deal with it. Just deal with it. No victimhood, no cynicism.
Deal with reality and keep confidence in yourself and each other. We'll get through this. Yeah, stoicism is the idea you don't control what happens, you control how you respond to what happens. And the idea was you can not just that you can respond to anything with virtue, but but the worse the situation is, the more important that response becomes. Defined by how we handle the toughest things in life.
How we respond. All right. There you go. Okay, so that was me and the great General Mattis talking about Stoic philosophy.
