I Accept That Others’ Actions Are Their Own — A Stoic Morning

Today’s episode repeats a simple acceptance mantra and highlights a Daily Stoic quote from Marcus Aurelius: it is not external events but our judgments of them that disturb us. Using Franklin D. Roosevelt’s polio diagnosis and subsequent career as an example, the host shows how acceptance can be active, not passive, and how refusing a victim mentality allowed FDR to continue his public life.
