The Daily Stoic - Today Is The Greatest Day You Have Ever Known

Episode Date: October 11, 2023

As you wrapped yesterday up, you should have said to yourself, as Seneca did each night, “that’s it.” I have lived my life. As you tucked your children in last night, you should have said to yourself, as Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius did, this might be the last time.The memento mori medallion , memento mori signet ring And the memento mori pendant, All these were created to remind us that we must live NOW, while there is still time.-⏳ You can view our entire Memento Mori Collection at dailystoic.com/mm✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail🏛 Check out the Daily Stoic Store for Stoic inspired products, signed books, and more.📱 Follow us: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, FacebookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. For more, you can visit us dailystoweth.com. Today is the greatest day you have ever known. As you wrapped yesterday up, you should have said to yourself, as Seneca did each night, that's it. I have lived my life. As you tucked your children in last night, you should have said to yourself, as epictetus in Marcus really is did, this might be the last time. So this morning, when you awoke, you were in a unique position, weren't you? Whether you woke up early or late in pain or

jumping out of bed on top of the world or in a slow-moving, unending nightmare, you could honestly say to yourself, as the smash and pumpkin song goes, today is the greatest day that I have ever known. Because whatever is happening, you did wake up, you got an extra day, you have another chance. And how wonderful is that? What a gift. We have thought of ourselves as dead,

as Mark's realist tried to do, and then we were given a reprieve. And now we must take this bonus time, this extra day. This extra day in the world with the people we love and live it properly.
