How do you stay committed when the results stop coming?
from The Stoic Compass
When your hard work stops producing results, three different voices offer competing wisdom: Epictetus argues you must separate commitment from outcomes and act regardless, Carl Jung warns that blind persistence can mask deeper truths about why you started, and Laozi suggests the real problem is the grip itself—that you're working for an audience in your head rather than the work. By the end, you'll understand that staying committed isn't about willpower or self-analysis alone, but about honestly asking whether the work itself still belongs to you once you strip away everything you expected it to give you.📖 Pay Attention by C.
