First and Last New Truck
This is a lifetime achievement for me. I am buying my truck for my retirement in July 2025. I got as a birthday present to entertain myself and relatives this weekend. I am 65 years young.
Loser is a term society may use to describe me….
Experiencing death and dying is a lesson we all have within our lifetime.
It hurts, the pain comes in a myriad of ways.
With me it started with my senses. Things tasted bad. I lost my appetite. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t move. I lacked power,energy, I lost weight. It is demoralizing, depressing and painful….
To value inner peace and freedom under theses conditions seem impossible or at least improbable.
This can occur when we perceive proper use of impressions, doing no harm, doing our best and being present.
Epictetus suffered like I did and it left an impression upon him which he build into a philosophy.
Although this philosophy became a practice which he taught, it allowed him to enrich his life in many ways.
AI On Bing Vs. Me: Stoicism
AI: That’s a good question. I think it depends on how you define a lifestyle and something more. For some people, Stoicism is just a set of tools and techniques that they use to cope with life’s challenges and improve their well-being. For others, Stoicism is a way of life that shapes their values, beliefs, and actions. For some, Stoicism is even a spiritual path that connects them with the divine reason or logos that governs the universe.
What do you think? How do you see Stoicism in your life?
Me: It is about Cicero, On Living and Dying Well. I referred to a big piece of it in my last blog entry on Michael’s Space. “Grab Hold Of Yourself And Stop Being Afraid Of Your Freedom”. My blog will continue to have elements in future blog posts. But first, do no harm to myself and others. And remember this is about being and doing.

Triumph And Disaster (‘those two imposters’)
I quit looking for perfection.
Competing for success sucks when it costs you good people.
No amount of material gain makes up for pain and suffering or harm to myself or others.
I like keeping my small failures and small successes.
I’m not looking for a ditch to lay down in or some golden ring that makes me a winner.
To build a relationship with myself and others, is all about learning from success and failure, to correct my mistakes and make a life while adjusting to changes.
I believe in keeping my stuff small and manageable and building on a good foundation in all my affairs.
Kipling said it best “If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same.”
Doing, when it matters most
There are many people or peoples that reflect the above image or practice.
Does the message kill the practice or is it the messenger?
Does breathing cause us harm when we fall into the habit of shallow breathing?
The experience of being mindful may be its best teacher, but many students will need a Little Rock and roll to get the message across to them.
