Live deeply and wholeheartedly
from The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday, Stephen Hanselman
How to Apply This
-
Be a good listener.
When communicating with others, focus on building connections and understanding rather than being right or persuading people of your view. -
Always ask questions—take nothing as it appears, but use your reason and logic to get to the bottom of things.
A Stoic’s task is to look beneath the surface to the deeper essence of whatever you encounter. -
Dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to something you value—your work, passion, vocation, craft, or hobby.
Commit time and effort to it for the sake of the common good. -
Work diligently, with grace and perseverance.
See your work as a gift you offer to the world, and have faith in your own efforts.
