“It never ceases to amaze me: We all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” — Marcus Aurelius The Stoics knew that each of us was born inherently unique. Well before an understanding of the science of DNA, they implicitly grasped that never before and never again will our combinations of genetics exist—that we are singular. And that one of the worst things a human being can do with this rarest of rarities is to give it up. To not be our singular selves. BE YOU. Be the only one of you in the whole world. That’s where the fun is (you don’t have to fake anything). That’s where the value is (when we are like everyone else, we are replaceable—by definition). Embrace who you really are. Embrace what makes you unique. Embrace your weirdness. Because chances are it’s special. Listen to @garyvee on The @dailystoic Podcast with @ryanholiday wherever you listen to podcasts.
It was a long flight to Australia but well worth it. I would have flown twice as long if that’s what it took to be able to swim in some of my favorite swimming pools in the world. The Icebergs pool in Bondi was wonderful. The pools at Manly and South Curl were incredible, especially at golden hour. I even got a quick indoor swim in the Melbourne Public Baths.

The obstacle is the way… to a new pair of sneakers.
Always try to do it the hard way.

I bet I am the first person to find a dead armadillo tail on the way to film a TV hit in their driveway (the gloves are because they can have leprosy and the van doubled as their studio).
