No One Has The Time For This |14 Choices A Stoic Should Make Every Day
Oct 10, 202318 min<p><em>“What would you do if you found out you were diagnosed with a terminal illness?”</em></p><p>We’ve all mulled this hypothetical question over at one point or another. Then we go back to our normal lives as if life wasn’t, in fact, terminal for every person ever born, as if we have a lot more time. We treat it as a thought exercise, a philosophical conversation starter and not much more.</p><p>The Stoics tried to resist that complacency. “You were probably thinking I was going to open this letter with idle chit chat about the weather,” Seneca begins one of his letters, “but I’m not, because who has the time?” “Not to live as if you had endless years ahead of you,” Marcus Aurelius said. “Death overshadows you.”</p><br><p><em>Like everyone, Jake cannot escape what fortune has in store for him.

You Really Can’t Hear This Enough | Practice Silence
Oct 2, 20239 min<p>One of the most highlighted passages in the digital version of <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/products/the-daily-stoic-signed-edition" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Daily Stoic</em></a> is the December 9th quote from Seneca:</p><p>“Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.”</p><p>--- </p><p>And with today's meditation on the day's Daily Journal excerpt, Ryan reminds us that it takes courage saying less and to be bold in your silence.
