I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Sunday - Righteousness is Beautiful
I’ve always looked to Major Richard Winter for his calm demeanor and even keel. Today’s stoic talks about what is beautiful. The question that stuck out to me was the even-tempered or undisciplined. Major Winters had a lot of discipline even in uncertain times. Eventually they worked out for him. I’ve been writing multiple stoics in blog posts the last several days because I’ve been undisciplined. I’m trying to work on that and today’s stoic is a good example of why.
Yesterday - How to Have a Good Day
Do good things. That’s it. To have a good day do good things. Don’t worry about what is outside of my control. Do good things each day. It’s that self-reliance that can get me through the day.
Today - Good and Evil! Look at Your Choices
What is the right choice to make. This stoic is a bit vague to me. It seems to be about morality and it also may not be. It could be from our own reasoned choices within. This can be a dangerous if we fall into the wrong things. Then again, I think falling into the wrong things is the wrong choice or the evil choice. Ultimately, I think it’s meaning is to take a reasoned approach to our daily decisions.
