I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Live in the here and now. I feel like this can be a conflicting message if you’re trying to build a career. If you want money, fame, and glory then leaving in the moment means living in your work. Giving the best you can. For me I’ve met my career goals. I don’t feel like I need to spend extra hours doing things for work. Instead I can live in the moment by spending time with the wife and kids. We played Uno Flip for the first time last night and it was quite fun. Tonight I played an online version of cards against humanity that lasted for two plus hours. For me living life and enjoying my time is how I want to live. I want to spend times with neighbors and my video game hobby. I want to live my fullest which means maximizing my experiences. That includes traveling and just enjoying life. I feel like I’m in an envious position and I still want more. Everything from here on out is a bonus.
As Wooderson put it
Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.
