What habits keep people poor — not financially, but in spirit?
from The Stoic Compass
Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi debate what really keeps people poor in spirit—not sadness or hardship, but the habit of deferring small choices until the signal of your own judgment goes quiet. Through their disagreement about whether spiritual poverty requires action, understanding, or honest stillness, you'll see that the deepest habit is actually deferral itself, and that breaking it requires doing one small deferred thing today, not waiting for the conditions to be perfect.📖 Pay Attention by C.
