“It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good.”
"Begin at once to live,

and count each separate day as a separate life."

- Seneca the Younger, Epistles 101.10
"Each day is a little life:

every waking and rising a little birth,

every fresh morning a little youth,

every going to rest and sleep a little death."

- Schopenhauer, Our Relation to Ourselves

Stoicism is like a mental toolkit.

Here are 11 Stoic lessons/tools I've found to be among the most useful in everyday life.

Thread 👇 Image
1. Bad things will happen, obstacles will present themselves.

It's how we react to them that matters.
2. For every action, ask "Is this necessary?"

Life is too short to waste time on things that don't matter.

30 short Stoic lessons

from Seneca's first 30 letters.

👇👇👇
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's.

While we are postponing, life speeds by.

(Letter I)
The primary indication of a well-ordered mind is a man's ability

to remain in one place and linger in his own company.

(Letter II)

Gratitude

❌ I have nothing to be grateful for

✅ I am grateful I woke up today

- Gratitude for just being alive

- Gratitude for breathing in and out

- Some days that's enough, maybe it's enough every day
Comparison

❌ My friend is achieving more than me

✅ Life is not a competition

- You're on your path, they're on theirs

- Don't get pulled away from your mission for the sake of someone else's

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.”
