The Obstacle Is the Way -- Ryan Holiday

what stands in the way becomes a way
practice virtue in impediment, which is expected but not permanent
attitude and approach
method and framework
humidity endurance passionate will
great people are improved by obstacles
soft, abundance entitled are
welcome conflict and expect it
perception deception will
nothing makes us feel this way,we choose to
you decide your own perceptions, thoughts, belief, reactions, you are not powerless
your mind remains your own
freedom from perturbation
gift of fear, what are you avoiding, worry over introspection
real is control and domestication of emotions
defeat emotions with logic
root causes
resourcefulness than anger
catch yourself if it isn't constructive
perceive not just observe
setbacks, issues, obstacles
think perceive act
examine before you act
mental training
see things as really are not just ornamentation
put them in proper place
dead meat, fermented wine
remove you from subjected parts
be objective at face value without baggage
lose the pity and sense of persecution
what your existence will be change situation
fear debilitating distracting
explain fear away
limit expand perspective not just isolated items
context, large picture of world
framing,
the tyranny of being picked

all hoping to solve their problem not his
be the answer to others not the other way around
specific role and accommodate
perception precedes action, right will follow right
control within your own circumstances and your responsibility
don't accept everything as final
take chance and make it happen
if you can change, muster it
unlikely and impossible, know the difference
argue and complain are choices
what is within out power is enhances it
challenge, make it best anyways
exist in the present, deal with situation at hand
focus on moment not monsters
don't spend day in explanation not just bad constructs
what is in front of you right now, ignore what it means or represents

reality is not bound by rules of people
life is malleable
aim high, rock the boat
your self has little bearing on what is possible or impossible
don't listen closely of others
be open, question
don't look for a way out, don't feel sorry for ourselves
believe in own ability to succeed
embody trait of being objective
reject first objections because first objections are fear
conventional wisdom too conservative
make something when nothing to look forward
give all you got
most creative when nothing to lose state
obstacles are opportunity

try new ways of communication with nothing to lose
outmaneuver them
appetite for risks and instincts
learn from bad bosses
safety net is going to be a new job anyways
adversarial growth
struggle is growth
mental flip
post traumatic growth
enemy is misconception, hurts less despite obstacle
rude disrespectful
conniving, no apology when u make example
critical, lower expectation easier to exceed
lazy, your actions are more admirable
didn't he underbelly of the negative in to the positive

nothing is bad as you think
see the world as what it is and what it is that you must act
directed action as a whole
best of courage
deliberation boldness persistence
action is cure to all predicaments
channel rage and pain into training
speak against wind, with pebbles, in one breath
lock yourself away until you are better
defensive wounds, out hands up to break fall instead of breaking face
don't complain, act
articulate solutions
don't let else to handle it, don't let obstacles sit there and un obstacle itself
act start now
do with what happens and what was given
shit into sugar
don't quit, don't feel sorry
don't be backed into a corner and force you hand because you have to, people have choices have paralysis
get back to work
don't let obstacle get stronger, it is a loan that compounds and get bigger if you don't act sooner
you are in debt of all the obstacles
action is paying it off

get momentum on your side
don't turn your nose at offensive offer or feel sorry for yourself
get going
take opening and triumph ahead
something better might come along? but you do nothing
the bells has been run
enemy s at your door , opportunity never shows up, obstacles show up
don't give enemies life
take the swing take the chance
stay moving, push ahead, bicycle effect
create momentum yourself
chisel until gone
genius is persistence in disguise
unity of purpose deafness of doubt
working at it works
don't give up change paths
persist efforts, resist other temptation
against impedance that lay siege to your own life
action fail is 2 sides on same coin
anticipation of failure hurts less
soft body and hard headed.. terrible
take failure as feedback
the way of failure shows what is the way
focus on process
pieces
do it well on what you need to do right now
don't over react focus on what to do next
conserve your energy on emotion
right here right now
don't worry about results or whole picture
do your job do it right

when action is priority, vanity disappears
prestige out, onerous, nothing is beneath us
do your job
answer well with right action
always act right
'
flexible fluid defiant
do the right way
pragmatic any ways that work
don't wait til conditions are right or when information is complete
do what you got
results
pinch what you want it to be and how it is right now
bridge the difference and stop complaining
all it matters accomplishment
when stakes are high, do dramatic measures
don't have to be straight line, don't look for perfect solution
just find what you want you want it to be like and where you want to go
do the best with what you got instead of the perfect
get it done and it works
radical practical
progress not perfection
make obstacles irrelevant
resistance is futile

only 6% battles are won with direct approach
face unfavorable condition against stalemate
find leverage
don't beat strength
calculated force where it would be effective
don't do brute forces, use proper resources
the hard way, the longest way around is the shortest way home
civil disobedience
don't attack , withdrawal and have it attack you,
exaggerate the weakness
make it counterproductive
power of opposites
ghandi, MLK
in defensive and evil
make obstacles defeat themselves
restraint and abstinence best option
don't push back, pull until they lose balance
don't challenge, find common ground
get support,
absorb other powers as our own
Russia retreating
don't push
solace
advantage
use bigness against itself
fortress vs prison
channel ability
don't give in to frustration, undermine rules
don't act out, act
physical looseness with constraint
tune out external stresses
mind like water move around things
seize the offensive, take chance
conjure and make chance servant
direct, neutralize negatives
don't less crisis squander, use the negative to get movement done
seize plan for advantage
mount offensive
transcend challenge and re frame it
easy catalyst
use as catapult
help others
do your best but be prepared for the worst

quiet humidity, resistance
discipline
endurance

nature commanded must be obeyed
learn to find joy in everything that happens
love of fate
not just expectations
tolerate and like adversity
perseverance
staying power
matter of will energy, endurance
persist and persevere
don't be worst enemy
if i cant solve it for ourselves, can we salvage good out for others?
not all about you all the time
unity over self
not myopia
sense of larger whole
not woe is me
you are not unique you are part of human experience

well aware of own mortality
playful relationship of existence
clarity and euphoria
pro clarity of existence
fear of death
remember you are mortal
glory to the grave
the more you accomplish, there are more obstacles
uphill, get used to it
one of many

worthy of more
better with every attempt
deliberate
anticipate, eager next round
fate is not fatal
destiny and freedom
stoicism
epictisis
cenica
if meditation is antique, we are ruins
throw away structured education , go to the seed of knowledge
philosophy, solve problems of life
not theoretically, practically
marcus realis
esoteric
have riches not riches have you
fear greed, dictate behavior not just a tool
anyone is mentor
apprenticeship is selling yourself for room and broad for learning
full time mentor is not good...part time job for them
 questions for help, easy to do
ben Franklin effect
epicurean
stranger in strange land
what makes run
borrow most prized possession,
the guy has to convince himself in his mind that the person was worth the investment
therefore because of invested, the borrow is indebted even more for doing the favor and will do further favors
compounded interest on growth, do more things done earlier for self later

more things, 5 things, better at all of them sped process of learning, the things help each other to get done
multifaceted
