The Daily Stoic

CHAPTER

Writing as a Personal Value

In this chapter, they discuss how writing is an activity that aligns with one's personal values and is seen as a good in itself. They compare writing to other activities like going for a run or going to the gym, stating that it is important to engage in actions that are good for oneself and not just indulging in activities solely for pleasure. They also mention a quote from a stoic philosopher about the lasting impact of doing something hard for good, compared to the fleeting pleasure of doing something shameful. They emphasize the importance of focusing on the long-term good that comes from pushing oneself.
