Stoic Reminders for Thanksgiving | Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Amor Fati
Every year instead of contributing to the corporate indulgence of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we encourage our listeners to make a donation. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. It only takes a little to make a big difference. We donated the first $30,000, and we’d like your help in reaching our goal of $300,000. If we hit that goal of $300,000, it would provide over 3 MILLION meals for families across the country. Just head over to dailystoic.com/feed and together we can make a significant dent in a big problem. As Seneca reminds us, intention and attitude are central aspects in giving. Your donations show those in need that someone else cares, that someone else is by their side—just like the loved ones around your dinner table who have been by your side over the years.🎙️ Listen to the Daily Dad Podcast | Apple Podcasts, Spotify, & YouTube🎥 Watch Julia Baird’s interview with Ryan on YouTube📕 Get a signed, numbered first-edition of the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday at dailystoic.com/obstacle✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
