STOICISM | QUOTE OF THE DAY
Reignite Your Thoughts
What’s the saying — Luck comes to those who are prepared — something like that.
“Your principles can’t be extinguished unless you snuff out the thoughts that feed them, for it’s continually in your power to reignite new ones. . . . It’s possible to start living again! See things anew as you once did — that is how to restart life!” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.2
Things and events do go my way when I am open to them going my way, but it’s on me to set the stage and be in the proper mindset.
I have to re-mind myself at times what the big picture is and get excited again.
Friends and colleagues are a vital resource for this. We support and encourage each other.
Join me in reading and discussing The Daily Stoic*: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman.
