Captain Michael: “At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: ‘I have to go to work — as a human being.’” — Marcus
“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: ‘I have to go to work — as a human being.’” — Marcus Aurelius
Capt’ns orders for the Mid-watch. Think about:
Somewhere tonight, somebody is exhausted.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Financially.
Spiritually.
And yet morning will still come asking something of them.
That’s the difficult truth adulthood eventually teaches:
The work does not pause because we are discouraged.
The Stoics respected this reality.
Not with bitterness.
Not with self-pity.
But with acceptance.
Rest when you can.
Recover when you must.
But remember:
You were not built merely for comfort.
You were built to carry responsibility with dignity…
even through rough seas.
