A Year of Contemplation

When to Stick and When to Quit (Day 157)

Think of those who, not by fault of inconsistency but by lack of effort, are too unstable to live as they wish,
​but only live as they have begun.”

- Seneca, On Tranquility of Mind, 2.6.b

​Today, this topic really stuck with me. Stay or go? Stick it out, or split? 

What’s stood out to me is that we have every right to change our minds (read as revoke consent), even if we’ve committed to a path, it doesn’t mean we’re committed forever… especially if that path turns out to be severely flawed or blocked. 

And even if the path is flawed or broken, it could be of such value to you that you double-down, reinvest, and fix the flaws, as well as remove the blockages, remembering that we can only control what we can control. Things beyond our sphere of control are better left to anyone NOT US. 

Move when necessary. Stay and fight when necessary. 

The more we look to Virtue to guide us, we’ll know when “necessary” becomes “now”. 

(See y’all tomorrow)

    About the Blog

    Awakening the desire to explore Stoicism, and how it relates to his existing beliefs, Rev. William committed to working through the text, The Daily Stoic, a year-long journey to awaken the Stoic mind. 
    How things are structured can be found in the first post.
