Don’t Let This Go To Your Head

Say Hello

Welcome back to Navigate the Day, where we explore the art of living through the lens of philosophy. Today's episode, "Don't Let This Go To Your Head," inspired us to reflect on the corrupting influence of power and the importance of maintaining a virtuous life. Marcus Aurelius advises us to fight to remain the person that philosophy wants us to be and to live a life of integrity and virtue.

In our journal prompt today, we asked ourselves if we can fight to be the person philosophy wants us to be. We acknowledged that it's not an easy task, but by aligning our actions and mindset with the principles of philosophy, we can make progress. We shared our struggles with anxiety and fear, and how we are taking steps towards self-improvement by seeking therapy and reflecting on our values.

We discussed how philosophy is the exploration of the art of living and encourages us to question ourselves and cultivate positive character traits. We acknowledged that we don't always do a good job of being reasonable, but we're taking steps towards improvement and need to remember to be patient and compassionate with ourselves.

Overall, today's episode reminded us of the importance of staying true to our values and striving for virtuous living. We hope this episode inspired you to reflect on your own values and take steps towards living a life of integrity and virtue. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next time on Navigate the Day.

Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!
