I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

Friday - Made For Justice

We can all agree on certain annoyance in life. Which is why we should also avoid doing those annoyances. If we don’t we go against nature and harm others around us.

Saturday - Made For Working Together

People are dependent on me. This is the advice that recommends I get out of bed in the morning. What defines the hour that we arrive at this. I’ve woken after seven hours of sleep only to fall asleep for another hour or two. I’ve operated on less sleep than that before. Those days are really exhausting at the end. I understand people are relying on me and others are wanting me to show them what I can do. At what point is rest overridden by that need to get up? Some people need five. Others need eight to nine with most people in the middle. Does getting up after 7 do me good when the extra hour or two allows me to operate more effectively for a few more hours?

Yesterday - No One Has a Gun to Your Head

I don’t have to do anything. I get to do the right thing. That has helped with re-framing how I approach some things in life. It’s helped me sleep better.

Today - Receive Honors and Slights Exactly The Same Way

I felt like I did this fairly well. Needs improvement but rather well. Then I started playing golf. I have a lot to of work to do. I’ve noticed after a good hole, I’ll have a bad hole after. I’ll also have a good hole after a bad hole. The worst is bad hole after bad hole. Or to break it down further: a bad shot can be followed by another bad shot and another. Remaining even keel on both and good holes and both good and bad swings is a big part of the game. It’s what makes professionals good at what they do. They’re able to forget the good and bad shots and play their game.
