Don’t Rush Through This | Ask DS

Про цей епізод

<p>Seneca makes the point, however, that what we are really rushing towards—with all deliberate speed—is <em>death.</em> That’s what he means when he says that we get death wrong. Death is not some distant thing in the future, not some one-time thing that looms ahead. Instead, <em>death is something happening to you right now.</em> It’s happening as you read this email (hope it’s been worth it!), it’s happening as you struggle to put your daughter’s shoes on so you can drop her off at school and then it’s happening still more as you sit down to that coffee meeting you rushed to even though you didn’t want to have it in the first place. It happens as you procrastinate, it happens as you distract yourself, it happens as you make bad choices, it happens as you worry and dread and whine.</p><p>And that’s why we created <a href="https://dailystoic.com/spring/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>The Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge</em></strong></a>. It’s a set of ten brand-new actionable challenges designed to push you to examine your choices, your relationships, and your day-to-day patterns and move you closer to living your best life.</p><p>“Remember how long you’ve been putting this off,” Marcus Aurelius writes, “how many extensions the gods gave you, and you didn’t use them.” He reminds us “that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don’t use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return.”</p><p>Don’t rush through life, don’t rush toward death.
