We tell our children they can learn anything, that mistakes are opportunities for growth, that challenges make us stronger. But what are you showing them?
Does your life actually demonstrate that these values are important? Does it show what this looks like in practice?
Here’s the crucial truth: our children aren’t just observing our daily routines—they’re being taught what it means to be an adult from our example. As James Baldwin noted, children may not listen to our lectures, but they never fail to imitate us. Every action, every reaction becomes a lesson in how to navigate life. If we want our children to embrace growth and challenge, we must model it ourselves.
Spring offers the perfect opportunity to show our children what real personal growth looks like. It’s a chance to let them witness us examining our habits, cleaning up our messes, questioning patterns, and actively working to become better.
If that interests you, then maybe you’ll consider joining us and thousands others for the Daily Stoic Spring Forward challenge. The challenge isn’t just about self-improvement—it’s about showing our children what it looks like to commit to growth. Starting on March 20th—the first day of spring—we’re going to demonstrate that we don’t just talk about a growth mindset—we live it.
As part of this awesome challenge, you’ll receive:
- 10 BRAND-NEW Stoic-inspired, actionable challenges delivered daily to your inbox
- 10 custom video messages from the Spring Forward creator himself, Ryan Holiday
- Access to our members-only discussion space
- A printable 10-day calendar to track your progress
- Invitation to a wrap-up live Q&A session with Ryan
Remember your children aren’t just watching what you do—they’re learning who to become.
Join us at dailystoic.com/spring and show them what lifelong growth really looks like. The Spring Forward challenge starts March 20, 2025.
