A Simple Stoic Morning Meditation

One You Can Use Every Day

Good morning, fellow Stoic.

Let’s think together about how we’re going to make today a good day.

Of course, it’s not enough to merely think about and know goodness, we then have to be good in order to have a good day.

But as Leonardo da Vinci wrote in 1510: “Practice must always be founded on sound theory”. We’re setting ourselves up with that theory right now.

Here’s a thought to get us started: what better beginning to a day is there than to have woken up?

You have been granted another new day. Welcoming it as you’re doing now is ensuring that you won’t take it for granted.

You’re about to live a day that countless others are denied.

Your eyes opened to the freshest morning of your life and it’s in your possession once again.

Every morning is a little birth and today’s new beginning is emerging with the rising sun.
