Summary

This episode is a gentle return to practice for anyone who’s drifted or struggled to begin. Seneca and the Stoics remind us that growth starts with effort, but becomes easier—and even rewarding—once it takes hold. The aim isn’t perfection, but steady progress: correcting judgments, strengthening character, and moving a little closer each day. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: When Something Stands in the Way https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-when-something Hosted on Acast.
