Do you consider that others depend on you to do your part in this world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stoics were all about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/virtuous-life\/\">living a virtuous life<\/a>, and they saw it as a marathon, not a sprint.

One way to do that is by <em>following through <\/em>on our commitment to living virtuously. <strong>As the Stoics saw it, the job of living a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/virtuous-life-2\/\">virtuous life<\/a> is long-term, so we need to figure out how we can stick to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To highlight the importance of perseverance, the authors offer an insight from the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius into dealing with flagging motivation: <strong>Remind yourself that others depend on you to do what\u2019s right<\/strong>. For him, this wasn\u2019t about his special role as emperor, it was about his <em>essential<\/em> role as a human being. In his view, all humans depend on each other to do what\u2019s right.<strong> <\/strong>If we don\u2019t do our part\u2014whether big or small\u2014others suffer in a world a little more deprived of virtue.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Marcus Aurelius motivated himself by appealing to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/create-a-sense-of-belonging\/\">sense of belonging<\/a>: Feeling connected to something larger than himself gave him purpose. In his case, this sense of belonging came from his deeply held philosophical beliefs. Others may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-find-purpose-2\/\">find purpose<\/a> in their religious beliefs. In either case, psychologists agree that commitment to overarching values\u2014rather than a commitment to just yourself, your family, or your community\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/mindfulness-practice_b_4683073\">makes you more resilient to stress and hardship<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way the authors recommend you increase your follow-through is to be <em>patient<\/em> and <em>take it slow<\/em>. By rushing into things\u2014taking on responsibility too quickly, for instance\u2014we run the risk of burning out. It\u2019s far better to keep a slow and steady pace that you can maintain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This holds for the abstract notion of pursuing virtue, but it\u2019s also true of our concrete obligations such as our work or our role as citizens or partners. For the Stoics, the way we treat our small, day-to-day tasks comes to characterize our entire lives. Therefore, it\u2019s important for all of us to do the best we can at a pace we can sustain for the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Experts argue that feeling tempted to give up on your obligations is a sign that <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/11\/beating-burnout\">your approach to those obligations should change<\/a>. If you begin to feel cynical for instance, it\u2019s a sign that you\u2019ve lost sight of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-life-purpose\/\">your purpose<\/a>. Likewise, feeling exhausted indicates that you need more sleep, exercise, or nutrition. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-pay-attention\/\">Paying attention<\/a> to these signs is a practical way to implement the Stoic\u2019s advice to follow through on your goal of living well.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you committed to lifelong improvement?
