Challenges and wrestling partners
The biggest teacher.
Take every setback as a way to learn and become a better Stoic.
Stuck in a traffic jam? Don’t get pissed out by things you don’t control.
Meet someone that doesn’t share your worldview? Don't judge.
Find yourself daydreaming about your magnificent future? Focus on the present.
Even the most talented wrestler needs a worthy opponent to become the best.
“What would have become of Hercules do you think if there had been no lion, hydra, stag or boar - and no savage criminals to rid the world of? What would he have done in the absence of such challenges?
What would have been the use of those arms, that physique, and that noble soul, without crises or conditions to stir into him action?”- Epictetus
Embrace challenges, learn from them, take action, become better.
