Morning Stoic Meditations: Living Each Day As Your Last

“This is the mark of perfection of character—to spend each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, laziness, or any pretending.”
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.69
In this morning meditation, we look at stoic outlooks, specifically the practice of ' Living each day as your last', to set an intention and mindset for the day.

Just lovely… as with a handful amidst the multitude of other contributors, here on Insight Timer, your voice’s tone and the pace, approach and music (and music volume level) you’ve chosen all contributed to such a soothing environment that I fell asleep before your recording ended, which was wonderful! The only thing that’s “less than wonderful” is that since this was my first time listening to it, and since this feedback/review/dialog page of I.T.’s is so generic, I have no idea what your name is or where you’re located, just that I loved your work and hope to find it again, in the future (which is unfair to both of us). Even so, I am grateful to you, and to the Universe for the unique set of circumstances that first led to the creation of your beautiful voice, and then led you to record it and add it here.

All and only my best,
