Notations From the Grid (Special Month-End Edition): Reminders From the Team at The Daily Stoic

 As we await a new quarter, we hereby present a snapshot of uplifting thoughts courtesy the team at the Daily Stoic:

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:

A great artist uses what happens to them, Borges said. A strong stomach, Marcus Aurelius said, digests what it eats. A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it. That can happen here too, if you choose, if you seize the power that you have. Be the painter of your own picture, the sculptor of your own life.

It’s the only way forward. It’s the only thing you can do.

—from Daily Stoic's Monday email, "You Can Use This, You Know"
