Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, where each day we bring you a passage of ancient
wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life.
Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some
of history's greatest men and women.

Are you getting the most out of this gift?
You're alive right now or you wouldn't be reading this.
But what proof do you have that you're really living?
Don't overthink that question. It's not some complicated metaphysical question. Instead, it's a variation
of Seneca's observation that often a very old man has no other proof of his long life than
his age, meaning that they racked up many years, but little living. And the same can be
true for us if we're not careful. Yes, we're here, but are we really here? Are we really
getting the most out of this gift we've been given?
Are we squeezing every second out of every second? Are we simply content to let them tick off the clock?
That's the question for you to answer today
What proof do I have that I'm really alive?
