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

I believe today’s stoic is about knowing myself. Do my wants and desires rule me like a tyrant or am I a wise king. I still do things that I don’t understand. Often it’s staying up late into the early hours of the morning. Despite having something early in the morning. I’ve gotten much better about it. Yet, I still do it from time-to-time and I don’t often have a good explanation. Am I getting sucked up into the good feelings that I don’t want things to end? Or is there something from that day still bothering me. Or is it something the next day I’m trying to avoid and in staying up late not allowing a full days rest to tackle that thing. I’ve started to wonder if I like chaos. I strive to be good at my job and improve myself during the day. That can lead to a boring life. The staying up late can sometimes add that little spice or that struggle. I’m curious.
