🏛️ Stoic Quote

If you seek tranquility, do less. Or (more accurately) do what’s essential – what the reason of a social being requires, and in the requisite way. Which brings a double satisfaction: to do less, better. - Marcus Aurelius

In today's fast-paced world, we are often overwhelmed with tasks and responsibilities. By focusing on what truly matters and eliminating unnecessary distractions, we can find peace and fulfillment in our accomplishments. For example, instead of trying to juggle multiple projects at once, prioritizing one important task at a time can lead to better results and a calmer mind.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 ESV

The lesson encourages prioritizing essential tasks to achieve tranquility and satisfaction in our endeavors, aligning with the Stoic principle of Wisdom, which emphasizes discerning what is within our control and focusing on what truly matters.
