#071: Rules for a Good Life - The Eric Deems Show
Manage episode 311675200 series 3164974
Many have turned to the wisdom of the Stoics for inspiration on how to do life on their own terms. In this episode, I read through “50 Very Short Rules for a Good Life from the Stoics” by Ryan Holiday. A few of my favorites from the list:
- 7. Remember you have the power to have no opinion.
- 17. “The best revenge is not to be like that.” –Marcus Aurelius
- 21. Focus on process, not outcomes.
- 35. Make a little progress each day.
- 48. The obstacle is the way.
I think you’ll gain a lot from these if you truly apply them to your lives…one day at a time. Don’t talk about it, be about it. Tune in, won’t you?
