Aims and objectives..

During my recovery and perhaps more importantly during the current world crisis. I have and do now in my daily living pursue the following aims and objectives.

'The object in life is not to follow the majority but to avoid joining the insane,' Marcus Aurelius

You do that by maintaining your equanimity, mental calmness , composure and evenness of temper even in the most difficult of situations.

This is assisted by the fact that,'The only power you have is over your mind, everything else is external. Remember this and you WILL gain strength,' Marcus Aurelius

Neither do I see replacing the much vaunted word, hope in terms of the first Stoic Virtue, practical wisdom.The others being temperance (self control), courage in dealing with others and yourself, and to be just in dealing with your environment.

Good post, Redmayne.

I am grateful that I am now a calm, dignified, solid person who helps rather than hinders the world around me by acting out like a bratty 2 year old.
