October 25th TWO TASKS “What, then, makes a person free from hindrance and self-determining? For wealth doesn’t, neither does high-office, state or kingdom—rather, something else must be found . . . in the case of living, it is the knowledge of how to live.” —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 4.1.62–64 #DailyStoic

October 24th THE FOUNTAIN OF GOODNESS “Dig deep within yourself, for there is a fountain of goodness ever ready to flow if you will keep digging.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.59 #DailyStoic

October 23rd SHOW THE QUALITIES YOU WERE MADE FOR “People aren’t in awe of your sharp mind? So be it. But you have many other qualities you can’t claim to have been deprived of at birth. Display then those qualities in your own power: honesty, dignity, endurance, chastity, contentment, frugality, kindness, freedom, persistence, avoiding gossip, and magnanimity.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 5.5 #DailyStoic

October 22nd IT’S EASY TO GET BETTER. BUT BETTER AT WHAT? “So someone’s good at taking down an opponent, but that doesn’t make them more community-minded, or modest, or well-prepared for any circumstance, or more tolerant of the faults of others.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.52 #DailyStoic

October 21st HEROES, HERE AND NOW “Such behavior! People don’t want to praise their contemporaries whose lives they actually share, but hold great expectations for the praise of future generations—people they haven’t met or ever will! This is akin to being upset that past generations didn’t praise you.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 6.18 #DailyStoic
