If you come down safe from a climb like that, you would be just exhausted for days. “I was coming at this from having done the most serious climb of my life. Following his initial relief and jubilation from getting out of the crevasse, Joe quickly realized the enormity of his situation. His friend, Simon Yates, left him for dead, and Joe was faced with the prospect of getting out of a crevasse and making his way down the mountain by himself.Īfter deciding to lower himself deeper into the crevasse, Joe discovered a sloping path which he followed out of the crevasse. One of the climbers, Joe Simpson, broke his leg while descending the mountain, and later fell into a deep crevasse. This reminds me of the story of Touching the Void, a documentary film that chronicled the miraculous story of survival of two young friends who attempted to climb Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Like us, they’re better off putting one foot in front of the other and considering everything else to be extraneous.” - Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic An undefeated team tries not to think about their perfect winning streak. “A main walking on a tightrope tries not to think about how high up he is. So by focusing exclusively on the present, we’re able to avoid or remove those intimidating or negative thoughts from our frame of view. “A character in Chuck Palahnuik’s novel Lullaby says, ‘The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close up.’ Sometimes grasping the big picture is important… A lot of times, though, it’s counterproductive and overwhelming to be thinking of everything that lies ahead. Stay focused on the present situation and ask yourself why it’s so unbearable and can’t be survived.” - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 8:36Īs Ryan Holiday, author of the Daily Stoic wrote in his interpretation of this passage:
Don’t fill your mind with all the bad things that might still happen. “Don’t let your reflection on the whole sweep of life crush you. I recently read a passage from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the ancient Roman emperor and philosopher: Instead, remember an important passage and a story I’m about to share with you. In those situations, you may feel overwhelmed, depressed, and be tempted to throw up your hands in despair.ĭon’t give up. You see the mountains you will need to climb, and the likely sacrifices you will need to make. Have you ever been faced with what seems like an insurmountable challenge? You see where you are, where you need to be, and the vast distance in between.
Break it down, and stay focused on your next step.
