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

Tuesday - Your Actual Needs Are Small

I remember when I was learning golf and having one good shot was enough. A year later I’m much better and I hold myself to a higher standard for shots. I’m trying to learn to be more humble about them and reset expectations. I try to appreciate that I’m out in nature getting exercise. The score is nice but not the point of the activity. I do want to strive to get better, I just need to remember how far I’ve come and that it takes time to get even better.

Wednesday - You Can’t Touch Me

This is a great stoic to have. I practice this a lot on the golf course after bad and good shots. I won’t let the bad shots affect my next shot. In fact often times I’ve stood up and made a great shot after a bad shot because I don’t let them get to me.

Thursday - Let Virtue Shine Bright

This to me is a pursuit of stoicism. It’s a long journey and along the way we should maintain truth, justice, and self-control. I also see it as trying to improve upon it.

Yesterday - The Most Valuable Asset

Virtue and inner-strength and a desire to improve these. Keeping these are the only things that really matter. Wealth and success have their place but I do not control those entirely. This is why I’m continuing to do these stoics daily and jouranling them on a blog because it’s a journey.

Today - A Mantra Of Mutual Interdependence

One of my new sayings in my industry is that we are glorified hall monitors. Security is important for sure and it’s getting a lot of play in the news highlighting that importance. We need to remember though that we’re only one small piece in business. We’re the one telling people who they should be doing something. Often how things should be done are already documented by other parts of the business. They’re just not executed on properly.
