Episode #169 Navigating Life's Circumstances: a conversation with Jen and Josh
from Conversations Beyond the Pew with the Rev · host Lincoln Park Presbyterian Church
Quotes from the book The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday “Defiance and acceptance come together well in the following principle: There is always a countermove, always an escape or a way through, so there is no reason to get worked up.” “In its own way, the most harmful dragon we chase is the one that makes us think we can change things that are simply not ours to change. “ “Focusing exclusively on what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power. But every ounce of energy directed at things we can’t actually influence is wasted-self-indulgent and self-destructive." “Persist in your efforts. Resist giving in to distraction, discouragement, or disorder.”
