ROAD TO ATARAXIA (1/X) tbc
"As you kiss your son good night, whisper to yourself, “He may be dead in the morning” (Epictet)
"How Long Are You Going To Wait Before You Demand The Best For Yourself." (Epictet)
Let´s start a challenge. We call it "road to ATARAXIA ". From time to time I´m gonna post tools/ tasks/ lessons to achieve a stoic mindset. Todays task is heavy. It reminds us of our transience. The things of our physical world vanish quicker and quicker. The stoic philosophers considered their death as a great partner and coach, beacuse it teaches to worship all we have, to be greatfull and not to waste time. So here comes the challenge:
Write your own eulogy. You can chose from whitch perspektive you write it: a friend, your husband/wife, your child...
What is it that they should remeber you for? What person do you want to be for them?
If you write, try to feel as deep as possible. Imagine their sad faces, think of the small on the graveyard, what sounds do you hear (music, crying...)
WHAT LIFE DO YOU HAVE TO LIVE TO BECOME THAT PERSON FROM THAT EULOGY? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE/ COUNTINUE TO DO???
Would be nice to share your eulogy here, maybe I´ll do it too...
