Sunday night Stoic: Stick to what’s in front of you

August 2, 2015 Eric Johnson

Meditations 8.22:

“Stick to what’s in front of you—idea, action, utterance.”

Life is right here, right now. 

Make an art of this moment. 

Keep doing that and the past will have fewer regrets, and the future will take care of itself.
