January 25th: The only prize

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

What's left to be prized? This, I think -- to limit our action or inaction to only what's in keeping with the needs of our own preparation... it's what the exertions of education and teaching are all about -- here is the thing to be prized! If you hold this firmly, you'll stop trying to get yourself all the other things... If you don't you won't be free, self sufficient, or liberated from passion, but necessarily full of envy, jealousy, and suspicion for any who have the power to take them, and you'll plot against those who do have what you prize... But by having some self respect for your own mind and prizing it, you will please yourself and be in better harmony with your fellow human beings, and more in tune with the gods- praising everything the have set in order and allotted you. —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations,6.16.2b-4a

January 17th: Reboot the real work

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

I am your teacher an you are learning in my school. My aim is to bring you to completion, unhindered, free from compulsive behavior, unrestrained, without shame, free, flourishing, and happy, looking to God in things great and small - your aim is to learn and diligently practice all these things. Why then don't you complete the work, if you have the right aim and I have both right aim and right preparation? What is missing?... The work is quite feasible and is the only thing in our power... Let go of the past. We must only begin. Believe me and you will see. — Epictetus, Discourses, 2.19.29-34

January 16th: Never do anything out of habit

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

So in the majority of other things, we address circumstances not in accordance with the right assumptions, but mostly by following wretched habit. Since all that I've said is the case, the person in training must seek to rise above, so as to stop seeking out pleasure and steering away from pain; to stop clinging to living and abhorring death; and in the case of property and money, to stop valuing receiving over giving. —Musonius Rufus, Lectures, 6.25-5-11

January 15th: Place is in staying the course

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

Tranquility can't be grasped except by those who have reached an unwavering and firm power of judgment —the rest constantly fall and rise in their decisions, wavering in a state of alternatively rejecting and accepting things. What is the cause of this back and forth? It's because nothing is clear and they rely on the most uncertain guide - common opinion. — Seneca, Moral Letters, 95.57b-58a

January 14th: Cut the strings that pull your mind

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

Understand at last that you have something in you more powerful and divine than what causes the bodily passions and pulls you like a mere puppet. What thoughts now occupy my mind? Is it not fear, suspicion, desire, or something like that? —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 12.19

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

John 10:1-10 New International Version (NIV)

10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. ²The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.³The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. ⁴When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. ⁵But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” ⁶Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

1 John 3:18-24 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁸Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

¹⁹This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: ²⁰If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. ²¹Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God²²and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. ²³And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. ²⁴The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him,and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Success doesn't have to be something you see only on T.V. It's less to be something you see only on TV. It's less about being perfect than knowing what you're best at being properly aligned with your context. You don't need to be literally insane, like Jure Robic, but sometimes an ugly duckling can be a swan if it finds the right pond. The thing that sets you apart, the habits you may have tried to banish, the things you were taunted for in school, may ultimately grant you an unbeatable advantage.

—Eric Barker, Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Whenever you get an impression of some pleasure, as with any impression guard yourself from being carried away by it, let it await your action, give yourself a pause. After that, bring to mind both times, first when you have enjoyed the pleasure and later when you will regret it and hate yourself. Then compare to those the joy and satisfaction you'd feel for abstaining altogether. However, if a seemingly appropriate time arises to act on it, don't be overcome by its comfort, pleasantness, and allure- but against all of this, how much better the consciousness of conquering it

—Epictetus, Enchiridion,34(resource) Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom

If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think you dare not, you don't,

If you like to win, but you think can't

It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, your lost

For out of the world we find,

Success begins with a fellows' will-

It's all in a state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins

Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

~ Vince Lombardi ~

Three feet from GOLD

Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.

An uncle of R. U. Darby was caught by the "gold fever" in the gold rush days, and went west to DIG AND GROW RICH. He had never heard that more gold has been mined from the brains of men that has ever been taken from earth. He staked a claim and went to work with pick and shovel. The going was hard, but his lust for gold was definite.

June 13th: Life is a battlefield

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

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
