Vivere est militare.
THE DAILY STOIC June 13th LIFE IS A BATTLEFIELD "Don't you know life is like a military campaign? One must serve on watch, another in reconnaissance, another on the front line. • •* So it is for us--each person's life is a kind of battle, and a long and varied one too. You must keep watch like a soldier and do everything commanded.... You have been stationed in a key post, not some lowly place, and not for a short time but for life» —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 3.24.31-36 "he weer Robert Greene often usec the ohrace «A cin war coie lip" Ir's an aphorism worth keeping close, because our life is a battle both literally and figuratively. As a species, we fight to survive on a planet indifferent to our survival. As individuals, we fight to survive among a species whose population numbers in the billions. Even inside our own bodies, diverse bacteria battle it out. Vivere est militare. (To live is to fight.) Today, you'll be fighting for your goal, fighting against impulses, fighting to be the person you want to be. So what are the attributes necessary to win these many wars? Discipline Fortitude Courage Clearheadedness Selflessness Sacrifice And which attributes lose wars? Cowardice Rashness Disorganization Overconfidence Weakness Selfishness As in war, so these attributes matter in daily life.

Education.
THE DAILY STOIC April 30th WHAT IS IN KEEPING WITH YOUR CHARACTER? "Just as what is considered rational or irrational differs for each person, in the same way what is good or evil and useful or useless differs for each person. This is why we need education, so that we might learn how to adjust our preconceived notions of the rational and irrational in harmony with nature. In sorting this out, we don't simply rely on our estimate of the value of external things, but also apply the rule of what is in keeping with one's character." —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 1.2.5-7 It is easy to get wrapped up in our own opinions of things. It's as if we're adhering to invisible scripts—following instructions or patterns we don't even understand. The more you question these scripts and the more you subject them to the rigorous test of your education, the more you'll be your own compass. You'll have convictions and thoughts that are your own and belong to no one else. Character is a powerful defense in a world that would love to be able to seduce you, buy you, tempt you, and change you. If you know what you believe and why you believe it, you'll avoid poisonous rela-tionships, toxic jobs, fair-weather friends, and any number of ills that afflict people who haven't thought through their deepest concerns. That's your education. That's why you do this work.

Good way for me to start the day. Don’t always agree with the daily entry and thank goodness for that.
