“Daily Stoic — Wants Make You A Servant” | by Ace Tully | Apr, 2022

The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman

“Tantalus: The highest power is —

Thyestes: No power, if you desire nothing.”

—Seneca, Thyestes, 440

I made a pledge to write everyday. I have uploaded my thoughts in to the Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman during April. There have been days where these quotes hit me at the perfect time. Today is one of those days.

Vipassana meditation teaches us that we need to accept the moment exactly as it is. We should not hold onto good feelings or run away from the bad feelings. Easy to intellectualize but if we are honest with ourselves we know that it is a long road to live it.

I want a new job.

I want a new visa.

I want I want I want I want.

It is time to fully accept the moment. The path is set for me. Is it set for you too?

All I have to do now is walk on the path.

Walk with me.
