Unshakable: Nurturing Inner Strength on September 5

Salutations everyone. It's September the 5th. This episode centers on cultivating inner strength and fortitude through stoic practice. We hear a repeated daily affirmation of dedication to inner strength and the Daily Stoic lesson: focus only on what is truly yours and release what is not. The episode recounts Admiral James Stockdale's endurance as a Vietnam POW, his strategic mindset during suffering, and how controlling oneself rather than externals enabled survival and resilience. The core takeaway: concentrate on what you can control—your thoughts, actions, and responses—and let everything else fall away. Have a great day.
