August 30th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - "When You Feel Lazy"

"Anything that must yet be done, virtue can do with courage and promptness. For anyone would call it a sign of foolishness for one to undertake a task with a lazy and begrudging spirit, or to push the body in one direction and the mind in another, to be torn apart by wildly divergent impulses."
~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 31.b-32

This speaks to me right now - I feel a distinct lack of motivation, probably as a result of battling a creeping depression that is trying to find any crack in my armor through which it can pierce me . . .
