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.

It's not much, but it adds up. In his letters to Lucilius, Seneca maintains an ongoing exchange with his dear friend. Indeed, you could argue this was the soul or the soul purpose of their letters.

Seneca having instructed his friend to find one thing each day that would fortify him against death, despair, fear or adversity does his best in these letters to provide him with such a takeaway each time.

Sometimes it's a quote from one of the stills. Sometimes it's a quote from Epicurus, that crafty rival of theirs. Sometimes it's an exercise where a story or a command, but in each case, Seneca is explicit. Here's your lesson for the day. He says here's your one thing.

Now one thing might not seem like a lot, but that's not the point. The point is that not much adds up if you do it a lot. That was Zeno's point when he said that well being is realized by small steps, but is no small thing.

A nugget worthy of one of Seneca's letters to be sure. And George Washington's favorite expression was that many mickles make a muckle. That's the same idea.

Don't think of wisdom as something you get via epiphany or even a couple years of graduate school. No, it's something you accumulate day in and day out over the course of a lifetime. Imagine what you know and what you to learn if you just found one good eye opening thought provoking thing each day.

Imagine how much wiser lucilius became after reading each of those 124 letters from his friend one thing every day one thing that fortifies you teaches you challenges you makes you question gets you to see it's not much.
