Weekly Quote: Ward Farnsworth, Author of The Practicing Stoic, on Living in the Present

"By spending our thoughts on the future, we fail to attend to what is happening now and so fail to live."  The Practicing Stoic, By Ward Farnsworth

This week’s quote comes from The Practicing Stoic: A Philosophical User’s Manual by Ward Farnsworth, a book I am slowly reading and very much enjoying. I’ve written about this book before and continue to gather insights into Stoicism and how it can help shape my personal and professional journey.

I’ve spent this week living firmly in the present with a house full of sick people (that includes me), and I haven’t had much time to write or do anything beyond survival. I’m happy to live in the present, yet I look forward to the family being well and our routine returning to normal soon.
