Episode Date: August 25, 2021

“The last year has been rough. It’s not how any of us would have chosen for things to go. Working from home. Cancelled trips. No unnecessary trips to the store, no concerts, no weddings or parties. Lost time with older loved ones—maybe even lost loved ones.”Ryan explains how your life is rooted in what you learn by experience.Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: http://DailyStoic.com/emailFollow us: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and FacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You have not been harmed. The last year has been rough. It's not how any of us would have chosen for things to go. Working from home, canceled trips, no unnecessary trips to the store, no concerts, no weddings, no parties, lost time with older loved ones, maybe even lost loved ones. There's no question that we missed out on stuff. It was a tragic event of historical proportions.

But you have to catch yourself about how you think about it, because it's already become an narrative. It's not fair. It was the worst year in history. It caused irreparable damage. No, what happened was life. And life has never been easy. Did you ever talk to your grandparents

or your great-grandparents about their experiences as children during the Depression or the Second World War? Did you ever once hear them complain about how it screwed them over or ruined their lives about how they never recovered? No, in fact, so much of their wisdom and resilience was rooted in what they learned, living through those transformative experiences. Well, look at you. You endured an equally transformative moment of history.

Yes, you lost things. Yes, much of this was preventable. Yes, it was hard, but you have also gained things. You learned things. You were reminded of what was important. You have grown stronger for having to struggle, and now you are still standing, and that says something. Start seeing it this way,

ignore the narrative that makes you worse. Remember what Marcus said, your mind will take shape of what you frequently hold in thought for the human spirit is colored by its impressions. Color your mind with these thoughts because they are true. You are a survivor. You are resilient. You have not been harmed the way people want to say that you have been harmed. You are going to turn this into something, it's already made you something.

And I think that's part of the idea of a Morphati as well, not only if you're not been harmed, but there's opportunities inside it. If you choose to see it this way, don't see it as something you're muddling through, but it's something that's chosen for you, that's transforming you, that you in turn are going to transform a morephotid.

Now I've held so many occupations over the years that my fans lovingly nicknamed me Kiki Keep a Bad Palmer. And trust me, I keep a bad glove. But if you ask me, I'm just getting started. And there's so much I still want to do. So I decided I want to be a podcast host.

I'm proud to introduce you to the baby Mrs. Kiki Palmer podcast. I'm putting my friends, family, and some of the dopest experts in the hot seat to ask them the questions that have been burning in my mind. What will former child stars be if they weren't actors? What happened to sitcoms? It's only fans, only bad. I want to know. So I asked my mom about it.

These are the questions that keep me up at night. But I'm taking these questions out of my head and I'm bringing them to you. Because on Baby This Is Kiki Palmer, no topic is off limits.
