Practicing and training................

"You can't just hear something once and expect to rely on it when the world is crashing down around us.  Remember, Marcus Aurelius wasn't writing his meditations for other people.  He was actively meditating for himself.  Even as a successful, wise, and experienced man, he was until the last days of his life practicing and training himself to do the right thing."

-Ryan Holiday,  from this day's entry in The Daily Stoic
