The Daily Stoic - Can You Handle This?

Episode Date: July 16, 2021

“You did the right thing. You said what you thought. You produced something valuable. Yet here you are, a day, a month, a decade later, somehow having it all flipped against you. You’re being criticized. You’re being attacked. You’re being made to look like something you’re not. It’s painful. It’s unfair.”Ryan asks if you’re ready and willing to face what is to come.Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: http://DailyStoic.com/signupFollow us: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and FacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You said what you thought you produced something valuable, yet here you are a day, a month, a decade later, somehow having it all flipped against you. You're being criticized, you're being attacked, you're being made to look like something you're not, and it's painful and it's unfair. It's also life. Can you handle it? As Kipling would write, each of us has to bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by naves to make a trap for fools. As Marcus would say, in experience, it can be worse than that. They can try to kill you, cut you, berate you with curses.

They won't fight fair. They'll argue in bad faith. They'll go after your livelihood. They'll come for your reputation. And, and that somehow cuts your mind off from clearness and sanity and self-control and justice. As Marcus said, no, it doesn't. You can handle it.

Keep doing you. Keep focused on what you can control. Keep doing the right thing that the fool's chatter as they will. Thanks so much for listening to the Daily Stoke Podcast.
