I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
This stoic gave me direction in realizing that all I need to do is live a good life. Some people find purpose. I’ve been lacking it a bit. I have recognized that working on myself and improving is a good purpose.
Future legacy means nothing to me. I’ll be gone and won’t care. I’m reminded of a Christopher Titus joke.

This has been a struggle for me with adult beverages. The opposite of drinking is not drinking which is a really bad habit to break. I had a similar issue with smoking. I eventually kicked that habit and I know I can kick drinking. Though the difference is that I don’t know that I’ll entirely eliminate it. I do enjoy it. It’s just the over indulgence of it that’s a problem. I have made great strides, so I have to be patient.

I try to be straight forward with people. I don’t like talking behind someone’s back because I feel like I should have said it to them. It can be a difficult conversation but it needs to happen.

Stoicism has helped me tremendously. I sleep much better and have less stress. I’ve shared some of these things with others as appropriate. Some take it and run with it while others only take a glance and move on.
Being kind is always a good practice. I have to remind myself of this regularly because I get away from it in my interactions with people. Sometimes I won’t be as kind and later recognize that I could have been kinder. It takes some focus and a lot of practice.

I feel like I do a good job of giving people the benefit of the doubt. For work I don’t take things personally. I get along with people just fine and I also disagree with those people. We eventually work things out even if it’s an agreeable disagreement. One of the things I’ve done while driving is recognizing that people in a hurry might be rushing to an emergency. They’re stressed and so I look for the opportunity to get out of their way as soon as possible. They’re driving fast for a reason. It might be a good one but it could also be a stressful one.
