“To find yourself, think for yourself.”
- Socrates
“If you can eliminate it, you'll have more time, and more tranquility.” — Marcus Aurelius
I've been asking myself: If I weren't already doing this, would I choose to start today?
Some habits build my life. Others simply occupy it.

"Whatever the rational and political [social] faculty finds to be neither intelligent nor social, it properly judges to be inferior to itself." — Marcus Aurelius, Book VII #Stoicism #DailyStoic #MarcusAurelius #Meditations

No day is unworthy of your attention. Even the dull ones are training grounds for the days that will matter.
Never praise or blame people on common grounds; look to their judgements exclusively. Because that is the determining factor, which makes everyone's actions either good or bad. - Epictetus

Challenge of the Week: Do one thing you normally do inside OUTSIDE
“Suffering — how divine it is, how misunderstood! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.”
Hard Choices, Easy Life. Easy Choices, Hard Life. #DecisionMaking #Discipline #Stoicism #LifeLessons #LongTermThinking
Believing in fate isn't passive to me. Family, class, genes, temperament were set before I had a self. But once you're aware, you write your own script. Water gets shaped by the wind into anything, and it's always water. That's the fate part, and also why it can become anything. #Stoicism

"Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered." — Marcus Aurelius, Book IV #Stoicism #DailyStoic #MarcusAurelius #Meditations
The present moment is the only territory you actually govern. Tend it well, and the past and future will trouble you less.
There is but one chain holding us in fetters, and that is our love of life. - Seneca

True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.
— Seneca
"For by attending to this thou wilt quickly forget thy anger, if this consideration also is added, that the man is compelled: for what else could he do?" — Marcus Aurelius, Book X #Stoicism #DailyStoic #MarcusAurelius #Meditations
