June 12th: A trained mind is better than any script

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

In this way you must understand how laughable it is to say, "Tell me what to do!" What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, "Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance"... In this way, if circumstances take you off script... you won't be deperate for a new prompting. —Epictetus, Discourses, 2.2.20b-1;24b-25a

August 15th: The Supreme Court of your mind

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

This can be swiftly taught in very few words: virtue is the only good; there is no certain good without virtue; and virtue resides in our nobler part, which is the rational one. And what can this virtue be? True and steadfast judgment. For from this will arise every mental impulse, and by it every appearance that spurs our impulses will be rendered clear. — Seneca, Moral Letters, 71.32

May 16th: The Chain Method

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

If you don't wish to be a hothead, don't feed your habit. Try as a first step to remain calm and count the days you haven't angry. I used to be angry every day, now every other day, then every third or as 30 days, thank God! For then obliterated. when you can say "I didn't lose my temper today, or the next day, or for three of four months, but kept my cool under provocation,' you will know you are in better health. ~Epictetus, Discourses, 2.18.11b-14
