Today's Stoic Thought
“Show people, don’t tell people.”David Goggins
In everyday life, instead of constantly talking about your goals and plans, demonstrate your dedication through actions. For example, rather than boasting about your fitness journey on social media, show your progress through consistent workouts and healthy habits. Actions speak louder than words, so let your deeds speak for themselves.
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
The verse from James emphasizes the importance of showing our faith through our actions, not just through words. Demonstrating our beliefs through tangible actions requires courage and commitment. This aligns with the Stoic pillar of Courage, which emphasizes the strength to act according to our principles, rather than just talk about them.
