Greetings Readers!
Welcome to Part IV of our Perennial Habits course — exploring the art (and science) of change. Here are the previous email meditations: How to Change, When Change is Hard, How to “Think” About Change, and The Paradox of Small Changes. We begin our exploration of the nine perennial habits next week!
As a reminder, the 7-week Perennial Habits course consists of email meditations every Tuesday and Friday, along with live meetups over Zoom on Apr 26th, May 10th, and May 24th. As always, if you have any questions or concerns — feel free to email me or leave a comment!
***Register here for the live meetup on Wednesday, Apr 26th, at 7:00 pm EST.
Seneca stressed in a letter to Lucilius that we are wrong to think about death as something that lies ahead. “We die every day,” observed Seneca, “for every day, some part of life is taken from us.” It is important to remember that each day is finite and, therefore, an opportunity.
Every day (and each moment) is an opportunity—a chance to create.
The pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus famously said, “No one ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river, and they are not the same person.” We are constantly changing (and so is everything else). Yes, some changes are more noticeable than others, but nevertheless, change is occurring. Therefore, we are wise to honestly ask ourselves about the changes we are making (intentionally or unintentionally).
