"Never confuse yourself by visions of an entire lifetime at once. That is, do not let your thoughts range over the whole multitude and variety of the misfortunes that may befall you, but rather, as you encounter each one, ask yourself, âWhat is there unendurable, so insupportable, in this?â You will find that you are ashamed to admit defeat. Again, remember that it is not the weight of the future or the past that is pressing upon you, but ever that of the present alone." - Marcus AureliusIn this episode, Brian and Josh consider the above quote from the eighth book of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, and how it relates to a tennis player's experience in a match and over the course of a career.
