"Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach."
~ Seneca from Letters from a Stoic
How much time do you take to truly “retire” into yourself?
In our rush rush rush 21st century lives, it’s wayyyyy too easy to forget to slow down.
So, slow down!
Looking for places to do it?
How about on your way to work or any other time you’re in the car? Turn off the radio. Sit. Still. Breathe. In. Out. Again. Smile. Think.
And, are you spending time with people who really share your values? THAT is a very powerful way to re-charge and get inspired as well.
How will you retire more into yourself today/this week?
And, how will you spend more time with cool peeps today/this week?
Nice!
