I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Simply put it’s to try to improve each day. Work towards perfection even though we will never reach it. Kind of like golf. Trying to get better each day and learning and growing.
What We Should Know By The End
I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Striving for a better self before I go. This is something I like about stoicism. There is no end. There is always more things to improve upon.
It's Just A Number
I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Use today because our lives our not forever. It’s a big vague. I understand the concept of giving it your all and living like it’s your last but what does that mean? Is it to enjoy life or is to do something productive.
The Beat Goes On
I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Life goes on. I think about this a lot when I’m pondering the idea of leaving a company. They’ll continue to operate without me. I’m not special.
Dignity and Bravery
I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
I’ve grown up with stories of war. They always intrigued me. I’ve read a lot on World War II. I’ve read a lot on other wars as well via Bernard Cornwell. Those are all fictional but based in those time. At one point I wanted to join the military to go to war. That didn’t happen especially after 9/11 happened less than a year into service. I volunteered a couple times to go overseas. It wouldn’t have been in a fighting capacity.
That has left me with a bit of hole in my self-evaluation. If I had fought, how would I have responded with bravery or cowardice? Would it have cost my life to find that out? In my life I haven’t run from problems. I’m often the one that tries to think of solutions even if it means doing something that sucks. I would hope that leads to some sort of bravery and not cowardice.
