Today’s Read from @shaneparrish book, Clear Thinking: Complaining isn't productive. It only misleads you into thinking that the world should function in a way that it doesn't.

Therapy won't save you. Self-help books won't save you. Discipline won't even save you. The only thing that saves you is deciding, once, fully, completely, that you are responsible for your own life. Everything else is just tools.

This week's read: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. One line that stopped me cold: "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." That's it. That's the whole self-help industry, dissolved in 13 words. Curious what line stopped @RyanHoliday cold.

Marcus Aurelius ruled the most powerful empire on earth. Every morning he reminded himself he was nothing. That's not weakness. That's the most powerful mental habit a human being can practice. Here's what he knew:

The most dangerous enemy you have is not outside you. It never was. "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." Your obstacle is your path. Always has been.

Marcus Aurelius had every reason to be arrogant. Power. Wealth. Empire. Instead he wrote a private journal reminding himself to stay humble, stay present, stay sharp. That journal became Meditations, one of the greatest books ever written.
