Ама квіт сам лук, байдаве.

Sometimes that's the prudent thing to do too.

You're hurt, it's dangerous, whatever.

So sometimes you have to make a call like that.

But but but I know that the the part of this that really matters, ultimately, when it boils down to it, the part of it that really matters is is in my control, whether I'm gonna keep going or not.

And then there's the other factors that are not in my control.

You prepare for those as much as you can, but you gotta take it as it goes and we're gonna do it.

So Marcus Aurelius was buried in there.

This is known as Hadrian's tomb.

But I think fittingly, a after Marcus and Antoninus and Hadrian are buried there, it becomes a castle.

It's a castle here on the Tiber River, protecting Rome from invasion.

It becomes a citadel, which is actually one of the most powerful images in stoic philosophy, the idea of the inner citadel.

Yeah, it's great to have fortresses like this, but the real fortress has to be inside, right?

The toughness inside, the the thing you

retreat to the thing that protects you and and and when we do hard things when we train when we push ourselves physically that's what we're doing we're we're reinforcing we are building that inner citadel and that that inner citadel is what you draw that inner reservoir of strength what Thomas Paine said of George Washington then it it was this cabinet of fortitude that's what protects us from the things that are happening outside that that's what we draw on when things are really hard.

So when we're doing hard

things that's what we're doing.

We're developing that inner citadel.

Look, do do we do hard things cause we want to impress people?
