On Purpose


Consider whether you desire the same things today that you desired yesterday

Seneca Letter from a Stoic Pg 53


My mind is at sea. leading in various directions according to the course of wind (other people's opinions and social fads)


i need to test myself everyday - if i am desiring the same things today that i desired yesterday


what a fantastic test!


A settled and solid mind (one with purpose) does not wander from place to place and time to time .says Seneca

and such a person is much likely to make some progress and headway


On the other hand

An unsettled mind , keeps tossing up and down ...movement without purpose
