Wisdom Years

We are now experiencing one of the most significant revolutions in human life: the dramatic rise in life expectancy. This revolution does not imply, as most people usually think, that we've simply got more years of old age. Rather, it implies the formation of a new period in human life: the Age of Wisdom. This age is qualitatively different from the adulthood that precedes it and the old age that follows.

Epictetus was born a slave and taught philosophy as a free man.

Daily Wisdom: Stoicism returns to their own words, one page each morning, for a year. How each day works A passage ...

The same morning can go two ways, and the difference is usually the first thing you tell yourself. Choosing that one thought on purpose is what positive thinking actually is.

There’s so much noise. Everything can seem like a distraction. Distraction, in fact, seems like it is our oxygen. When was the last time you saw people talking on an elevator? We seem to plug in everywhere. We don’t even look up from our earphones and screens, never mind find time for silence. Our hearts need quiet. How are we ever going to pray otherwise? How could we ever possibly know God’s love and will—and the truth about ourselves and the world—without resting in him?
