COT:
We all face roles and responsibilities that don’t come with clear instructions—maybe it’s parenting, leading at work, or simply being a good friend or partner. The Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught that the key isn’t memorizing rules for every situation, but developing the adaptability to handle whatever life throws our way.

Like running rapids on a river, life presents constant challenges and changing currents. Our task isn’t to control the water—it’s to keep our boat upright and moving forward.

Train yourself with strong principles and flexibility, and you’ll be ready—not just for the challenges you expect, but especially for those you don’t see coming.

COT:
Easter is about return—the return of light, of life, of hope. This time of year reminds us that even after long seasons of darkness or stillness, good things come back.

We felt that in the workout today—running that hill over and over. We kept returning to the bottom. Not because we failed, but because that’s where the work starts again.

Wherever you are in your life—if you’ve drifted from your routines, your purpose, your people—consider this your invitation to return.

You’re not starting over. You’re coming back stronger.
