🏛️ Stoic Quote

Only these two questions: Is what he’s doing now the right thing to be doing? Does he accept and welcome what he’s been assigned? - Marcus Aurelius

In our modern lives, we can apply Marcus Aurelius's words by asking ourselves if our current actions align with our values and if we are accepting of our responsibilities and roles. For example, a student can reflect on whether procrastinating aligns with their goal of academic success and accept that studying is their task at hand.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

The Bible verse emphasizes the importance of putting effort and dedication into our work, aligning with the Stoic lesson of reflecting on our actions and responsibilities. It encourages a mindset of working diligently, which is in line with the Stoic principle of wisdom in making choices that align with our values.
