How to live well for the next hour

I am a subscriber to The Stoic Gym which is a free monthly online publication.    I appreciate pretty much everything I read from them, but by far this article  ‘The Secret of an Empty Notebook’ is the one I think about and share most.   I love articles like this about living stoicism in today’s world.

Here is the link.   Note, you can decline to subscribe and still access the article.

I hesitate to pick bits out and type here because they say it far better than I can, but for me the gist of it is that being virtuous this very hour is the way to go.    Who do I want to be this very hour?    The article quotes from Marcus and Seneca (eg Give yourself the gift of the present moment. - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 8.44), so it’s spot on in terms of stoicism.
