"Shakespeare waited out a plague. So did Isaac Newton. The poet John Keats spent 10 days in a harbor, waiting out a typhus epidemic. Think of the soldiers who spent years being posted overseas. Think about the ones who spent years recovering from their wounds.Life is full of waiting. It’s filled with moments of forced stillness. We’re delusional to think we’ll be exempted from this—that things are going to happen at our pace and on our terms."Ryan talks about dealing with periods of forced stillness in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.Get Stillness Is the Key for just $3.99 here: https://geni.us/StillnessSale***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
