Marcus aurelius's meditations one of the
most influential stoic texts started as
his personal Journal it was his way of
reminding himself of stoic principles of
understanding his actions and of
navigating the complexities of Life
number three set daily intentions not
goals
while both goals and intentions steer
our path they do so in fundamentally
different ways goals inherently future
oriented focus on outcomes achievements
and results they provide a destination
intentions on the other hand illuminate
the journey they are present moment
anchors deeply rooted in our values and
the person we aspire to be daily
stoicism at its core emphasizes the
distinction between what we can control
and what we cannot goals often link to
external outcomes May sometimes fall
outside our realm of control
despite our best efforts unforeseen
obstacles can arise intentions however
reside firmly within our Dominion they
are daily affirmations of our personal
values a conscious choice of how we wish
to navigate the world regardless of
external circumstances
as you begin your morning after having
cleared your mind through journaling
reflect on the kind of day you wish to
experience
rather than focusing on tasks to be
accomplished ask yourself
who do I intend to be today do you
intend to be patient embracing each
moment as it comes without rushing
through it
do you intend to be compassionate both
towards yourself and others
understanding that everyone is fighting
their own battles or perhaps you intend
to be courageous confronting challenges
head on and stepping out of your comfort
zone write down these intentions they
might look like today I will listen more
than I speak I will approach conflicts
with understanding or I will find
moments of Stillness amidst the chaos
these aren't tasks to be ticked off they
are reminders of the character you
aspire to embody
as Seneca beautifully put it it does not
matter what you bear but how you bear it
intentions are our daily compass in this
endeavor they guide our reactions
decisions and behaviors more than just
passive aspirations they become active
choices that shape our day
by setting daily intentions you are
committing not to outcomes but to
virtues you're not defining success by
what you achieve but by how you act
respond and exist in the world it's a
profound shift in perspective aligning
perfectly with stoic wisdom and ensuring
that regardless of the day's
unpredictability you have a clear vision
of your personal Journey
number four Embrace discomfort
in our modern world Comfort has become
an expectation a yardstick of progress
yet the stoics with their profound
wisdom recognize that the unchallenged
pursuit of comfort could be a hindrance
to personal growth
they believed in the deliberate practice
of introducing small discomforts as a
means to fortify the spirit cultivate
resilience and ensure one's preparedness
for the inevitable adversities of life
a stoic philosopher Seneca once advised
set aside a certain number of days
during which you shall be content with
the scantiest and cheapest fare with
coarse and rough dress saying to
yourself the while if it's the condition
that I feared the essence behind this
was not to promote needless suffering
but to break the chains of dependency on
external Comforts and to remind
ourselves of our innate strength
as you start your day think of small
ways to introduce voluntary discomfort
maybe it's taking a cold shower to jolt
you awake and invigorate your senses
this act not only promotes physical
alertness but serves as a metaphorical
baptism washing away the inertia and
reminding you of your capacity to endure
and Thrive or perhaps it's choosing to
skip that first cup of coffee reminding
yourself that your will and drive come
from within not from external stimulants
you could also consider more reflective
practices like setting aside 10 minutes
to meditate on a past hardship
recognizing the strength you displayed
and the growth that emerged from it or
choosing to walk or bike to work instead
of driving allowing yourself to be
present in the environment and embracing
the physical exertion as a testament to
your body's capabilities
the purpose here is twofold
first these daily acts of discomfort
service training for the Mind and Spirit
much like an athlete trains the body by
