My target audience is people:
who enjoy philosophy, poetry, and sparse retro movie quotes
trying to improve their moral character
wanting to find ways to conquer faults
interested in management of their thoughts
who help others because it is good and right to do so, not for praise
“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful. You’ll be too preoccupied with what so-and-so is doing, and why, and what they’re saying, and what they’re thinking, and what they’re up to, and all the other things that throw you off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.”
— Epictetus
"Man's nature most closely resembles the bee which cannot live alone, for it dies when left alone, but bends its energies to the one common task of his fellows and toils and works together with his neighbors."
— Musonius Rufus, 14, Lectures and Fragments
You’re alive, right now!
Every day that you wake up
is a divine grant,
and it’s up to you to
to make use of each one by
brightening your soul.

and expressing it.

Anyone can say that something bad has happened to them. Many try to do something to avoid bad things. Even less make the most of the bad things that happen. Few thank the cosmos for these things. Even fewer view these events as neutral instead of bad – but this is where true power exists.
Perspective is everything.

If you can overthink the worst why can't you overthink the best.
Tao & Zen
As we grow up, we unconsciously assimilate certain ideas taught to us and take them as gospel. Then, when we’re grown, we find that some of these things are not as true as we were told. A life’s work is to find truth and to live well. This is impossible if we think we know everything already.

They are a part of our life, but we can pick which ones we use.
A haiku taken from my poetry book. Look past whatever material inconvenience might exist as a result of events in life and see that each of us is so much smaller than we might have onve thought. This shouldn’t cause distress, it should bring relief. You aren’t responsible for things that are not within your control.

A pair of haikus taken from my poetry book. They – and the poem they were pulled from – serve to remind us that even perceived negative outcomes carry with them a lesson for us to learn, if we can look past how the situation is making us feel in the moment. Visit my site to read more of my poetry.
