July 20th: Made for justice

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

The unjust person acts against the gods. For insofar as the nature of the universe made rational creatures for the sake of each other, with an eye toward mutual benefit based on true value and never for harm, anyone breaking nature's will obviously acts against the oldest of gods.— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 9.1.1

At every moment keep a sturdy mind on the task at hand, as a Roman and human being, doing it with strict and simple dignity, affection, freedom, and justice- giving yourself a break from all other considerations. You can do this if you approach each task as if it is your lasts, giving up every distraction, emotional subversion of reason, and all drama, vanity and complaint over your fair share. You can see how mastery over a few things makes it possible to live an abundant and devout life- for, if you keep watch over these things, the gods won't ask for more.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 2.5

Make sure you're not made "Emperor", avoid the imperial stain. It can happen to you, so keep yourself simple, good, pure, saintly, plain, a friend of justice, god-fearing, gracious, affectionate, and strong for your proper work. Fight to remain the person that philosophy wished to make. Revere the gods, and look after each other. Life is short- the fruit of this life is a good character and acts for the common good.

October 10th: Reverence and justice

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

Leave the past behind, let the grand design take care of the future, and instead only rightly guide the present to reverence and justice. Reverence so that you'll love what you've been allotted, for nature brought you both to each other. Justice so that you'll speak the truth freely and without evasion, and so that you'll act only as the law and value of things require.— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 12.1

October 20th: Marks of the good life

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

You have proof in the extent of your wanderings that you never found the art of living anywhere — not in logic, nor in wealth, fame, or in any indulgence. Nowhere. Where is it then? In doing what human nature demands. How is a person to do this? By having principles be the source of desire and action. What principles? Those to do with good and evil, indeed in the belief that there is no good for a human being except what creates justice, self- control, courage and freedom, and nothing evil except what destroys these things. — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 8.1.(5)

August 14th: This isn't for fun. It's for life

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

Philosophy isn't a parlor trick or made for show. It's not concerned with words, but with facts. It's not employed for some pleasure before the day is spent, or to relieve the uneasiness of our leisure. It shapes and builds up the soul, it gives order to life, guides action, shows what and shouldn't be done — it sits at the rudder steering our course as we vacillate in uncertainties. Without it, no one can live without fear or free from care. Countless things happen every hour that require advice, and such advice is to be sought out in philosophy. — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 9.26
