🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️
-THE ISLAND LIFE-

You got a call about the accident. You just learned your accounts have been cleaned out. You saw something on your spouse’s phone that you can never unsee.

It’s news like this that will split you in two. The loss of a child. A betrayal. A diagnosis. “Never forget fortune’s habit,” Seneca reminds us, “of behaving exactly as she pleases.” Life comes at you fast—it comes at you unmercifully, when you didn’t expect it, when you can least afford it.

It’s not fair. But you know what it is? It’s a fact. And you know what else is a fact? Your son’s soccer practice. Your bills. The sun rising tomorrow, bringing its own set of practical logistics, problems and obligations.

As we said recently, it’s not about whether these things hurt. They do. No amount of Stoicism makes them not. It’s about whether you keep going—whether you can do it with a broken heart. And by it, we mean drive to work, take care of your parents, get dinner prepared, get the homework done, do the right thing.​

No one went easy on Marcus Aurelius. No one went easy on Epictetus. Life doesn’t go easy on any of us. It splits us in two…and half will have to do. Because that’s the job. Because people are counting on us. Because that’s how it goes…and always has gone.
