Today's Stoic Thought

“The limit is not the sky. The limit is the mind.”
Wim Hof

In modern life, this Stoic idea can be applied when facing challenges or pursuing goals. For example, if someone believes they are not capable of running a marathon but then trains diligently and completes one, they have shattered the limit imposed by their mind and proven that the sky is not the limit.
