The Daily Stoic - Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living
Day 12
October 24th - The Fountain of Goodness
"Dig deep within yourself, for there is a fountain of goodness ever ready to flow if you will keep digging"
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.59
From the Author:
"Today, we could hope that goodness comes our way - good news, good weather, good luck. Or we could find it ourselves, in ourselves. Goodness isn't something that's going to be delivered by mail. You have to dig it up inside your own soul. You find it within your own thoughts, and you make it with your own actions.''
Relating to yesterdays post about gratitude; gratitude is an appreciation of the goodness in yourself, in your life, in the things you are capable of doing. Finding and expressing that goodness may end up being the mail delivery for someone else. Bad weather shouldn't dampen you, things not going exactly as planned should only give you reason to search for the good that comes out of the change, the silver lining. Remember, the universe, God, conspires in your favour, always, as long as you allow it to.
