It’s Time To Change

You could argue that Meditations is Marcus Aurelius’ daily philosophical battle with himself to overcome this natural fear of change, to avoid getting trapped in a velvet rut, to not get complacent. Even into old age, Marcus was talking to himself firmly, pushing himself to do better, to not try to stay the same as he always was. It’s why he was famously seen leaving the palace as an old man, trying to learn, as he said, “that which I do not yet know.”

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different outcomes. There's nothing more disheartening than a person who refuses to grow, turn a new leaf, or take a leap of faith into the unknown.

Here we are at the end of one year and the beginning of another. Are you going to go in 2024 trying to cling to who you were? Even though it’s stopped working, just because it’s comfortable?

Why not start 2024 by actually taking the steps to create a better life? To actively step toward being the person you know you can be?

That’s why we created the 2024 New Year New You Challenge. It’s a set of 21 actionable challenges—presented one per day—built around the best, most timeless wisdom in Stoic philosophy. Our goal is to help you make 2024 your best year yet.
