Stoic Thought of the Day — Day 167
The inspiration for this category of entries is “The Daily Stoic,” by Ryan Holiday. Ryan has written extensively about Stoicism and done a great service to bring the philosophy of Stoicism to the modern mind. Ryan has made a career out of guiding and encouraging people to not only understand but also live by Stoic principles. (I’m not a big fan of his profiteering from his life work, but that is the nature of capitalism I suppose.)
My discovery is that living by Stoic principles takes more than study. These daily entries are my “study,” I am also trying to live the words of the Stoics. That will not be an overnight achievement, it will be a lifetime endeavor. I will be returning to these entries in the years to come for inspiration, encouragement and guidance. It is not my goal to become a Stoic Master. I will be happy to achieve the level of apprentice someday.
