It feels like it was written last year, not last millennium. No philosophic writing is more accessible. The book does not rewrite what they have written-the originals are there for us to read. ![]() There is plenty written about Stoicism out there, much of it by some of the wisest and greatest thinkers who ever lived. The book is inspired and rooted in the practical philosophy of Stoicism, but it does not explicitly make it about the philosophy. It is a book that has become a cult classic and required reading for athletes, entrepreneurs, artists or anyone who is looking for a timeless framework for overcoming the obstacles and adversities life throws at us. ![]() It’s this line from Marcus Aurelius, written nearly 2,000 years ago in his private diary, that served as the inspiration for the international bestseller The Obstacle Is The Wayby Ryan Holiday. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Marcus Aurelius “ The impediment to action advances action. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sean O'Casey famously called him "English literature's performing flea", a description that Wodehouse used as the title of a collection of his letters to a friend, Bill Townend.īest known today for the Jeeves and Blandings Castle novels and short stories, Wodehouse was also a talented playwright and lyricist who was part author and writer of fifteen plays and of 250 lyrics for some thirty musical comedies. ![]() Despite the political and social upheavals that occurred during his life, much of which was spent in France and the United States, Wodehouse's main canvas remained that of prewar English upper-class society, reflecting his birth, education, and youthful writing career.Īn acknowledged master of English prose, Wodehouse has been admired both by contemporaries such as Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Rudyard Kipling and by more recent writers such as Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie and Terry Pratchett.

Everything we see in creation is evidence, pointing us to God. ![]() Stop planning, Stop creating, Stop Doing, and just think about the magic of our world. Currently, Francis is planting churches in the San Francisco area and recently launched a countrywide discipleship movement called Multiply with David Platt. My thought for today is to take a moment and just stop.

No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “what have you done?” He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. The point of the book that grabbed my attention the most was the verse in Daniel 4:35 where it says “All the people of the earth are regarded as nothing. We are all sinners in front of a just God, and as the writer points out in his video “God won’t judge us on a curve” Praying to Him to bless people in my life. Thinking about God as what he would do “for us” or “bless us”. Reading this with my wife Kayelani, I had to apologize for the way I live my life and the way I think about God.

Mallery noted that what was thought to be the distorted coast of South America along the maps bottom edge bore a remarkable resemblance to the coastline of Antarctica. ![]() The map was heralded amongst scholars as a major find as it was then the only known representation of the lost maps Columbus had used to discover America in 1492.īut it remained relatively obscure outside of academia until the 1950s, when a former US Navy captain Arlington Mallery made a startling observation. Some were Columbus’s maps whilst others, the Admiral claimed, dated back as far as 400 BC. Instead, Reis noted on the map that it was based on older sources. It was signed by an admiral of the Turkish Navy called Piri Reis. In October 1929, on a dusty, forgotten shelf in an ancient library in Istanbul, an old map was found that might just rewrite human history.ĭated to 1513, the map showed the Atlantic ocean and the coastlines of South America, West Africa and Europe. ![]() |
