Welcome to the Daily Stoke. For each day, we read a short passage designed to help you cultivate the strength, insight, wisdom necessary for living good life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000 year old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more, you can visit us at DailyStoic.com.

Is it even a question? The little-known Stoic philosopher Agrippinus was apparently the king of one-liners.

There was the time he'd been informed that he'd been exiled and responded simply very well we shall take our lunch in Aresia.

There was another time we were told by Epictetus that Agrippus was asked by a fellow philosopher whether or not he should attend some banquet put on by the abominable Nero.

Agrippinus told the man that he should go, but why the man asked? That's when Agrippinus got him with another one of his brilliant barbs because he was even thinking about it.

For me, Agrippinus said, it's not even a question. In a way, this is a pretty good, albeit cavalier, test of the progress we are making with our character.

Heming and hawing about the right thing and then doing the right thing, now obviously that's better than doing the wrong thing.

But what we should be shooting for is developing the kind of moral compass that's so clear and strong that we don't even have to do that.

We're doing wrong isn't even a question. When the right thing is obvious. Just do the right thing, Marcus said. Don't even think about it. Go with your gut. The rest can be sorted out later.

Hey, everyone. Obviously you're listening to this podcast. You've probably read our Daily Stoke book. Maybe you get our Daily Stoke emails.

If you wanted to take some Daily Stoke wisdom with you to the office for your kitchen counter, well, we've made a Daily Stoke page a day calendar.

It's starting with the year 2020. It doesn't take a profit. Guess that 2020 is going to be a crazy year. It's an election year in the US. Start of a new decade.

I think we could all use a little guidance in the year to come. And so this Daily Calendar features quotes that match that page in the Daily Stoke each day.

So these are our original translations of Marcus really a Seneca, Epic Titus and many others. Each month has the same theme as the book and each day has a quote and a theme as well.

And we I think this will help you live your best life throughout the year. You can check out the calendar in the Daily Stoke store Daily Stoke dot com slash door 2020 starting soon.
