Welcome to my substack: Valor & Virtue
Grit. Virtue. Strength. Resilience. Courage. Wisdom.
If you are a seeker of any of the above, welcome. This is where we discover it all. Join me on a uniquely blended journey to discover how stoic philosophy can shape a fighter’s mind and how you can utilize these stoic teachings to fight through whatever may befall you within your own life. As the great Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius writes:
“The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands ready against the accidental and the unforeseen, and is not apt to fall.”- Marcus Aurelius (Meditations 7:61)
As a fighter, I have learned that the fight is not only about facing my opponent, but facing my own fears and doubts of my abilities.
With every punch thrown, and every grappling exchange, is a lesson in resilience and the push of limitations.
Discover the world of philosophy through the compelling lens of warrior’s spirit and a seeker’s wisdom.
To my new friends, thank you for embarking on this journey with me.
Semper Fortis.
