On this day I…
The four stoic virtues.
They’ve been on my mind the last few days.
- Courage - Temperance -
- Justice - Wisdom -
Sure I read philosophy every day but reading it isn’t enough. You have to be it. To live it. To practice what you preach.
Sure I can read books and watch Ryan Holiday YouTube videos. However, that isn’t really being Stoic (not to be confused with stoic).
I used to have a calm about me. About 2 years ago. Since then I’m not sure what has happened.
I’ve been trying to find a way to work out at home for years. But it always comes down to the usual; it’s boring.
But recently I bought something that has made a world of difference. I bought a full-length mirror.
Hence the cover photo.
Okay yeah, there is a level of ego and vanity involved. Of course there is, there always will be. But, apart from checking my form as I work out, I can also SEE my progress.
Being able to see progress (the pump) after each workout means that I can see, now, a possible near-future. The goal. The inevitable outcome of continuing to workout.
I’m a Professional Photographer who dabbles in Writing and Documentary Film Making.
I’ve recently quit my job of three and a half years as a Bartender/Manager. Photography began as a hobby and quickly became a passion.
I’m a Professional Photographer, Filmmaker, Writer/Author and this website is where I’m going to document all of it. The good, the bad and the ugly.
