Today’s Daily Stoic Meditation outlines that you have to do your duty, no matter what.
No matter how you feel or what the situation is, you need to do your job.
“Never shirk the proper dispatch of your duty, no matter if you are freezing or hot, groggy or well-rested, vilified or praised, not even if dying or pressed by other demands. Even dying is one of the important assignments of life and, in this as in all else, make the most of your resources to do well the duty at hand.”
— MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 6.2”
No Matter The Situation
No matter the situation, you need do to your job.
No matter what is going on, how you feel or who you’re with, you need to do your duty
Do Your Job
Do your job.
Whatever anyone does or says, be who you are and show your true colours.
For a stoic, their job is to be good.
Regardless of the circumstances, they work on being good.
Regardless of who’s around or not (maybe even more important, if there’s anyone around) they work on being good.
Regardless of how they feel in a specific moment, they work on being good.
This is your job in life — to be good.
Practice and preach it.
