BLOW YOUR OWN NOSE “We cry to God Almighty, how can we escape this agony? Fool, don’t you have hands? Or couldit be God forgot to give you a pair? Sit and pray your nose doesn’t run! Or, rather just wipe yournose and stop seeking a scapegoat.” —EPICTETUS…
The world is unfair. The game is rigged. So-and-so has it out for you. Maybe these theories are true,but practically speaking—for the right here and now—what good are they to you? That government report or that sympathetic news article isn’t going to pay the bills or rehab your broken leg or find thatbridge loan you need. Succumbing to the self-pity and “woe is me” narrative accomplishes nothing—nothing except sapping you of the energy and motivation you need to do something about your problem.
We have a choice: Do we focus on the ways we have been wronged, or do we use what we’ve beengiven and get to work? Will we wait for someone to save us, or will we listen to Marcus Aurelius’sempowering call to “get active in your own rescue—if you care for yourself at all—and do it while youcan.” That’s beter than just blowing your own nose (which is a step forward in itself).

WHEN TO STICK AND WHEN TO QUIT “Think of those who, not by fault of inconsistency but by lack of efort, are too unstable to live asthey wish, but only live as they have begun.” —SENECA, ON TRANQUILITY OF MIND, 2.6b
In The Dip, Seth Godin draws an interesting analogy from the three types of people you see in line at thesupermarket. One gets in a short line and sticks to it no mater how slow it is or how much faster theothers seem to be going. Another changes lines repeatedly based on whatever he thinks might save a fewseconds. And a third switches only once—when it’s clear her line is delayed and there is a clearalternative—and then continues with her day. He’s urging you to ask: Which type are you?
Seneca is also advising us to be this third type. Just because you’ve begun down one path doesn’tmean you’re comited to it forever, especially if that path turns out to be flawed or impeded. At thatsame time, this is not an excuse to be flighty or incessantly noncomital. It takes courage to decide to dothings diferently and to make a change, as well as discipline and awareness to know that the notion of“Oh, but this looks even beter” is a temptation that canot be endlessly indulged either.

Everything in the universe is moving !
Let me say sth on shabbat. Men in this world nobody care abt ur feeling. U feel depressing, disappointed, overwhelmed so what. Ur respected and accepted based on the value u provide.
Going to war, spending time in hostile environment so what. Ur born with nothing. U better build something. Uless and otherwise ur existence doesn't matter in the world.
Depressed well u still got bills to pay and values to provide.
In the process there will be up and down alot. But that's the process.
Just remember
"All men's are born to die."
Untill then keep pushing.
Keep fighting.
Keep going.

FINDING THE RIGHT MENTORS “We like to say that we don’t get to choose our parents, that they were given by chance—yet wecan truly choose whose children we’d like to be.” —SENECA, ON THE BREVITY OF LIFE, 15.3a
We are fortunate enough that some of the greatest men and women in history have recorded theirwisdom (and folly) in books and journals. Many others have had their lives chronicled by a carefulbiographer—from Plutarch to Boswell to Robert Caro. The literature available at your average libraryamounts to millions of pages and thousands of years of knowledge, insight, and experience.
Maybe your parents were poor role models, or you lacked a great mentor. Yet if we choose to, we caneasily access the wisdom of those who came before us—those whom we aspire to be like.
We not only owe it to ourselves to seek out this hard-won knowledge, we owe it to the people whotook the time to record their experiences to try to carry on the traditions and follow their examples—to bethe promising children of these noble parents.

BRICK BY BORING BRICK
“You must build up your life action by action, and be content if each one achieves its goal as faras possible—and no one can keep you from this. But there will be some external obstacle!Perhaps, but no obstacle to acting with justice, self-control, and wisdom. But what if some otherarea of my action is thwarted? Well, gladly accept the obstacle for what it is and shift youratention to what is given, and another action will imediately take its place, one that beter fitsthe life you are building.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 8.32

BRICK BY BORING BRICK “You must build up your life action by action, and be content if each one achieves its goal as faras possible—and no one can keep you from this. But there will be some external obstacle!Perhaps, but no obstacle to acting with justice…
Elite athletes in collegiate and professional sports increasingly follow a philosophy known as “TheProcess.” It’s a philosophy created by University of Alabama coach Nick Saban, who taught hisplayers to ignore the big picture—important games, wining championships, the opponent’s enormouslead—and focus instead on doing the absolutely smallest things well—practicing with full efort, finishinga specific play, converting on a single possession. A season lasts months, a game lasts hours, catching upmight be four touchdowns away, but a single play is only a few seconds. And games and seasons areconstituted by seconds.
If teams follow The Process, they tend to win. They overcome obstacles and eventually make theirway to the top without ever having focused on the obstacles directly. If you follow The Process in yourlife—assembling the right actions in the right order, one right after another—you too will do well. Notonly that, you will be beter equipped to make quick work of the obstacles along that path. You’ll be toobusy puting one foot in front of the next to even notice the obstacles were there.
