September 14th: A different way to pray

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

Try praying differently, and see what happens: Instead of asking for "a way to sleep with her," tyr asking for "a way to stop desiring to sleep with her." Instead of "a way to get rid of him," try asking for "a way to not crave his demise." Instead of "a way to not lose my child," try asking for "a way to lose my fear of it." —Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 9.40 (6)

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

22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ²down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ³No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. ⁴They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. ⁵There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

[Revelation 22:1-5]

January 8th: Seeing our Addictions

Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom Perseverance and Art of Living

We must give up many things to which we are addicted, considering them to be good. Otherwise, courage will vanish, which should continually test itself. Greatness of soul will be lost, which can't stand out unless it disdains as petty what the mob regards as most desirable. — Seneca, Moral Letters, 74:12b-13

April 27th: Turn it inside out

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

Turn it inside out and see what it is like when old, sick, or prostituting itself. How short- lived the praiser and praised, the one who remembers and remembered. Remembered in some corner of these parts, and even there not in the same way by all, or even by one. And the whole earth is but a mere speck. ~Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 8.21
