“Man, In Every Kind There Is Produced Something Which Excels; In Oxen, In Dogs, In Bees, In Horses.

“Man, in every kind there is produced something which excels; in oxen, in dogs, in bees, in horses. Do not then say to that which excels, "Who, then, are you?" If you do, it will find a voice in some way and say, "I am such a thing as the purple in a garment: do not expect me to be like the others, or blame my nature that it has made me different from the rest of men.” © Epictetus, “Discourses”.

Be Like a Bee! - MARCUS AURELIUS SECRET to Being Unconsciously Kind!

We are sharing best excerpt from "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius on why it is important to be kind unconsciously:

"Some people, when they do someone a favor, are always looking for a chance to call it in. And some aren't, but they're still aware of it - still regard it as a debt. But others don't even do that. They're like a vine that produces grapes without looking for anything in return. A horse at the end of the race . . . A dog when the hunt is over . . . A bee with its honey stored . . . And a human being after helping others. They don't make a fuss about it. They just go on to something else, as the vine looks forward to bearing fruit again in season. We should be like that. Acting almost unconsciously." (c) Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations".

5 RULES to Beat PROCRASTINATION: Time-Devouring Monster vs. EPICTETUS

You know the feeling when you keep putting off your daily tasks and even your life-defining goals?

You find new excuses for your indecision, giving yourself extra time to stay inactive, almost as if you’re celebrating your laziness, even though you fully understand the importance of what needs to be done.

Some people even delay their daily routines for an entire year — or for the next one!

Procrastination — the silent thief of time and potential, a relentless, time-devouring monster — often stems from a lack of mental energy, focus, or emotional readiness to tackle tasks.

To overcome it, it’s important to practice patience after all — patience to watch this video all the way through to uncover how to break free from this long-lasting monstrous skill-killer and take charge of your life starting now.

🌿"How Closely Flattery Resembles Friendship! It Not Only Apes Friendship, But Outdoes It, Passing

🌿"How closely flattery resembles friendship! It not only apes friendship, but outdoes it, passing it in the race; with wide-open and indulgent ears it is welcomed and sinks to the depths of the heart, and it is pleasing precisely wherein it does harm. Show me how I may be able to see through this resemblance! An enemy comes to me full of compliments, in the guise of a friend. Vices creep into our hearts under the name of virtues, rashness lurks beneath the appellation of bravery, moderation is called sluggishness, and the coward is regarded as prudent; there is great danger if we go astray in these matters. So stamp them with special labels."🌿

🌿© Seneca, "Moral Letters to Lucilius".
