Stoic Morning Routine
Stoic Morning Routine

How Marcus Aurelius started his day. It appears that Marcus Aurelius had a morning ritual– a sort of preparation before he started his day. These daily practices are what made him so great.

💡How do you see routine and philosophy coinciding? Marcus Aurelius managed to balance being the Emperor of Rome, a philosopher, a father, a husband, and many other things to many people by having a strict routine for himself.

Why You Should Re-Read Books
Why You Should Re-Read Books

Books are made to be broken in. They are quarries of gems to be mined, wells to be drawn from, sturdy posts to lean on, shoulders to cry on. Just as we never step in the same river twice, to paraphrase Marcus and Heraclitus, we never read a book the same way. That’s why we read and re-read, note and discuss, write and flag. The beatings our books take in the process? It’s a beautiful sight. It’s a sign they are doing their job. It’s evidence of accumulated hours and, hopefully, much wisdom too. It’s the highest praise you can give an author—to really engage with the material, to make it your own, to have a real, two-sided conversation.

Epictetus And The Art Of Resilience
Epictetus And The Art Of Resilience

Epictetus, the slave turned teacher, said, “Every situation has two handles. “One by which it can be carried, and one by which it can’t." When adversity strikes, a recession hits, a pandemic sweeps across the globe, setbacks, struggles, uncertainties, inconveniences—whatever it is, this is the critical question we face. Which handle will we grab? The problem or the opportunity. That you 'have to' deal with this or that you 'get to.' That this is just unfair and a good reason to be angry or that this is just life and a good reason to be grateful. If you're looking for more videos like this one, visit youtube.com/dailystoic
