Three quotes that stuck with me this week

I. Stoicism

"“How does it help, my husband, to make misfortune heavier by complaining about it? This is more fit for a king—to seize your adversities head on. The more precarious his situation, the more imminent his fall from power, the more firmly he should be resolved to stand and fight. It isn’t manly to retreat from fortune.”"

- Seneca

Thoughts: I recently watched Ronnie Colemen's documentary, The King. The winner of Mr. Olympia for eight years in a row, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.

Despite being handicapped now due to disc degeneration, having had more than 14 excruciating operations which involve disc infusion. Not once did he complain about his plight nor feel sorry for himself, despite him losing the ability to continue his passion for training.

He continues to carry on living life to his fullest - Caring for his family and running his business.
