Stoic Philosophy

Not only did we get to hear from Ryan Holiday at PIMDCON, the small mastermind group I’m a part of got to meet Ryan and walk away with a signed copy of one his books… pretty cool!

Here are a few of my notes from his talk – they don’t require any explanations:

“Whether something fortunate or unfortunate is our decision”

“Remember, you always have the power to NOT have an opinion”

“Command of the greatest empire… Yourself”

“Change is a constant, managing it is a discipline” (attributed to Queen Elizabeth II)

“We decide the end of the story, we always have the opportunity to surprise people”

“Build the muscle of doing hard things”

And my favorite (it is starred and circled and underlined in my notes!!!)

“The one thing fools have in common… they are always getting ready to start”

As part of the Mastermind I mentioned above, we received a copy of Ryan’s book The Obstacle is the Way – I highly recommend.  Many of my coaching clients have received a book from me to celebrate their accomplishments, I’m adding this book to the rotation!
