MAKE CHARACTER YOUR LOUDEST STATEMENT

#DailyStoic #May #RightAction

"For philosophy doesn’t consist in outward display, but in taking heed to what is needed and being mindful of it."
— Musonius Rufus, Lectures, 16.75.15–16

The monk dresses in his robes. A priest puts on his collar. A banker wears an expensive suit and carries a briefcase. A Stoic has no uniform and resembles no stereotype. They are not identifiable by look or by sight or by sound.

The only way to recognize them? By their character.

May 2nd: BE THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE


#DailyStoic #May #RightAction

"First tell yourself what kind of person you want to be, then do what you have to do. For in nearly every pursuit we see this to be the case. Those in athletic pursuit first choose the sport they want, and then do that work."

— Epictetus, Discourses, 3.23.1–2a

An archer is highly unlikely to hit a target she did not aim for. The same goes for you, whatever your target. You are certain to miss the target if you don’t bother to draw back and fire. Our perceptions and principles guide us in the selection of what we want—but ultimately our actions determine whether we get there or not.
So yes, spend some time—real, uninterrupted time—thinking about what’s important to you, what your priorities are. Then, work toward that and forsake all the others. It’s not enough to wish and hope. One must act—and act right.

Here’s another fresh one from The Economist. The author shares an interesting perspective on how alcohol might actually benefit society and the economy.

An article a day keeps your IELTS worries away. ©️

Show, not tell, what you know!

"Those who receive the bare theories immediately want to spew them, as an upset stomach does its food... Show us the changes in your reasoned choices... as the craft of artisans show in what they’ve learned."
— Epictetus, Discourses, 3.21.1–3

What's truly impressive?

"How much better is it to be known for doing well by many than for living extravagantly?"
— Musonius Rufus, Lectures, 19.91.26–28

YOU ARE THE PROJECT

"The raw material for the work of a good and excellent person is their own guiding reason..."
— Epictetus, Discourses, 3.3.1

Ertaga, nasib qilsa, kunning qaysidir paytida qabulda o’zim ham bo’laman.

Aynan qaysi paytdaligini hozirdan ayta olmayman — omadizni sinab ko’ring: balki aynan siz bilan suhbatni o’zim o’tkazarman.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BEAUTIFUL

"If you wish to be beautiful, then work diligently at human excellence..."
— Epictetus, Discourses, 3.1.6b–9

Diqqatingizni asrang.

Bu sizga haqiqatan tegishli bo‘lgan kam sonli narsalardan biridir.

Agar uni salbiy yangiliklar, drama va foydasiz “skroll” qilishga sarf qilsangiz, hayotingizning bir bo‘lagini boy berasiz.

Vaqtingiz va e’tiboringizni nimaga sarflashda talabchan bo‘ling.

Sizning e’tiboringiz — sizning haqiqatingizni shakllantiradi.
