Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, where each day we bring you a passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life. Each one of these passages is based on the 2,000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of

histories, greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at dailystoweth.com. You can't put things off. Do you know what one of the last things Abraham Lincoln ever said was? As he sat in a box at Ford's Theatre as he waited for the play to start, Lincoln turned to his wife and said, oh, how I should like to visit Jerusalem sometime. Within minutes, an assassin would fire a bullet into his brain

within hours. He would be dead. Now, of course, there were many reasons why this great man never found time in life to visit Jerusalem. He had to teach himself to read, he had to work himself out of abject poverty, he had to conquer depression, and then the gravest threat to freedom, yet known in the United States. He freed the slaves and made sure democracy would not perish from the earth. And these are all reasons why he had to put off that trip till a later date, just as you have many reasons why you're awaiting to do this or delaying doing that. And yet life has a way of stripping all our reasons bare of

humbling our plans and assumptions. We must live as Mark has really said as if death hangs over us because it does. We cannot put off till tomorrow he said what we can do today whether that's being good or highest priority or telling people we love them we're going places we wish to go. No one knows what the future holds, no one knows how much time we have left. So do not delay, do not wish, do not wait, do it now while you still have time while there still is a chance. All of the future is uncertainty. Senuka said, so live now, live immediately. Or as Marcus says in the challenge point,

I carry with me everywhere. You could leave life right now, but that determine what you do and say and think. This exercise of momentum, or from the stokes, it's not about being morbid. It's about creating a sense of urgency and clarity and priority. That's why the stokes practice momentum, or that's why I carry this challenge point with me. I have a

momentum worry, a piece of a tombstone that I keep in my bathroom mirror that I look at on a daily basis. Momentum worry, it's so powerful, it gets so much clarity. Find some way to practice that. If you want ours, you can check it out at store.dailysteoic.com. But just find something that reminds you that you should not delay. You cannot wait. Do it now.

You never know if you're just going to end up on page six or Du Moir or in court. I'm Matt Bellasai. And I'm Sydney Battle, and we're the host of Wonder E's new podcast, Dis and Tell, where each episode we unpack a different iconic celebrity feud from the buildup, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feud say about us?

The first season is packed with some pretty messy pop culture drama, but none is drawn out in personal as Brittany and Jamie Lynn Spears. When Brittany's fans form the free Brittany movement dedicated to fraying her from the infamous conservatorship, Jamie Lynn's lack of public support, it angered some fans, a lot of them. It's a story of two young women who had their choices taken away from them by their controlling parents, but took their anger out on each other. And it's about a movement to save a superstar, which sets its sights upon anyone who failed to fight for Brittany. Follow Disenthal wherever you get your podcasts.
