There’s a cemetary next door to me.

Yes, my neighbours are quiet. I know that I’ll be just as quiet one day too.

That’s not a morbid thought at all.

Muriel Spark said that “there is no other practice which so intensifies life.”

#PathsToFlourishing

I flourish when I am inside of a book.

I flourish sitting among the 70 meter tall Douglas Fir trees that surround my home.

A long time ago I read Epictetus’ Discourses among those trees and thought: “This is good stuff.”

The more I learned about and practiced Stoicism, the better I felt.

I kept going and never looked back.

Now I love sharing this life-changing philosophy with others who are looking for their own path to a good life!

I have been a practicing Stoic since I was an adolescent.

And without knowing it at the time, Stoicism had already put me on the path to living a good and meaningful life.

When I discovered and downloaded @DonJRobertson's “How to Think Like a Roman Emperor” on Audible,

I read about “the view from above” which helped me build emotional resiliency.

I realised that all along I was a Stoic.
