The Daily Stoic - Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living
Day 10
October 22nd - It's Easy to get Better. But Better at What?
"So someone's good at taking down an opponent, but that doesn't make them more community-minded, or modest, or well-prepared for any circumstance, or more tolerant of the faults of others"
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.52
Balancing the benefits of personal physical, financial, or otherwise social pursuits with those of compassion for others, having the time to enjoy your family and friends and the love that should overflow to them is more important than just the former alone. Be healthy, strong, stable, courageous , and charismatic. Be loving, have time for others, support those around you who mean the most to you.
From the Author:
"Let's not confuse getting better at /stuff/ with being a better /person/. One is a much bigger priority than the other."
