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

Yesterday - Wealth and Freedom Are Free

I feel like I’m free. I don’t want anything else out of my career. I’m content with what I have. That’s a good feeling to have. It’s also something I’m still trying to get used to. I feel like I should be doing something. I should be doing more on personal projects and more with the family. I should be doing more around the house. Maybe that’s going against the whole point of the stoic. Being content with what we have.

The problem is I’ll sit down and play video games. I’ll indulge a little. That’s never a good feeling because it feels like I should do more of something. Yet, I’m free.

Today - What Rules Your Ruling Reason

I think often about my upbringing and how I make decisions. Some are good; some are bad. I’m motivated to do things differently in some areas and fall into decisions based on my upbringing and genetics. It can be a hard thing to combat. I am changing though. I hope my kids do the same. They try to combat the bad habits and amplify the good habits.
