Quote of the Week...from Zeno of Citium

Well-being is realized by small steps, but it is no small thing.            ---Zeno of Citium

Zeno of Citium, also know as Zeno the Stoic, was the ancient Greek founder of that school of philosophy.  I picked up on the above quote while watching a YouTube video explaining stoicism.  Zeno here speaks of what in our times is often referred to as "atomic habits"...thanks to the popular same-titled book by James Clear, a work that has strong stoic undertones.  People who are fed up with their lives and want to reinvent themselves, in the process throwing away everything they have built up over the years, might be well-advised to heed Zeno's dictum, especially when considering that another element of stoicism is the elevation of a sense and expression of gratitude for the things one has been blessed with in life.  No, better to start small and fit the little changes into daily routines...after some time the effects can be revolutionary.  But don't expect or even desire perfection: it's all a process, a grand, exciting adventure...
