A Year of Contemplation

You Can Do It (Day 161)

If you find something very difficult to achieve yourself, don’t imagine it impossible - for anything possible and proper for another person can be achieved as easily by you.” 
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.19

Perseverance is not only a Virtue in Ar nDraiocht Fein, but it’s a way of life. Every person who doesn’t surrender to their own weakness and circumstance, to their own challenges, who doesn’t blame others for their failures… they push through the hard parts of life, they don’t give up, and they return to their feet always one more time than they get knocked down. 

Why? 

It’s because they believe they can “do the thing” and that there isn’t anything that can stop them from doing the thing, short of death. 

Success isn’t zero-sum. Success doesn’t need to be attached to envy or jealousy. The social bullshit around success might contain those elements, for sure… 

… but when we take back the power to define success, when we possess the indomitable spirit, we realize there is an infinite amount of success to go around. 

Get out there and get some! You can do it. 

(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.
