| As winter fades and spring emerges, as we adjust our clocks for daylight savings, it's a good time to pause and reflect. Where did the time go? It seems like only yesterday we were bundled up against the cold, watching the last leaves fall from the trees. Now, the days are getting longer, and the air feels warmer. We talked recently about Phillip Larkin's beautiful poem about the changing of the seasons, how their circular renewal contains within them a kind of finality. Winter is over—that winter is over forever. Those cold winter afternoons where you didn't want to go outside? Where you didn't want to do anything. Where instead you waited for the temperature to go up, a break in the snow. You weren't killing time…that was time killing you. Seneca reminded himself that death is not this thing in the future, but something that is happening now. It is always happening. It is the ticking hand of the clock. It is the spring flowers. It is the fall harvest. It is the summer rains. It is the first snow of the year. This idea is a reminder that each moment is precious. It tells us to wake up and really live, not just watch time go by. To embrace the longer days and make the most of it. If that sounds like something you're up for, why don't you join is in what we're calling the Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge? This time of year is when we start to think of spring cleaning, but how many of us get our whole houses in order? Not just our physical spaces, but our minds, our routines, our assumptions? Think of how you spent the last week. Were those seven days as efficient or productive as they could be? Or did you waste time? Were things more complicated than necessary? Did you fall back on bad habits? Were you, like so many people, still stuck in the doldrums of winter? The Daily Stoic Spring Forward Challenge is set up to push you to examine those parts of your life, to examine your choices, to examine your relationships and move you closer to living your best life.
