The cresting call... I lean,
then lean in, feel the sheer
force of the fold.
My board, a moral compass,
finds its North. I carve a curve,
a virtuous line, not of rules
but a rolling, roiling resolve.
Water whispers,
"hold...
...hold..."
I turn, a terrible tear,
tearing through the turquoise,
a fleeting flicker
of perfect form.
Down the face, I race the grace,
a pithy moment of balance,
a calibration
of body and board,
of me and the sea.
The ride is not the end,
but the ever-
...unfolding.
Three ways to level up your virtue: a philosophical cheat sheet.
⚖️ Aristotelian Virtue: Find the "golden mean." Virtue is the sweet spot between two vices. Think of courage as the perfect middle ground between cowardice and recklessness.
🙏 Christian Virtues: Faith, hope, and charity aren't just good habits; they're divine gifts that connect you to a higher purpose. It's about transcending the self.
🧘♂️ Stoic Virtue: The ultimate good is a virtuous life. Everything else—money, fame, health—is an indifferent. Focus on what you can control: your mind and your actions.
Different maps for the same journey: living a good life.
Which one speaks to you?
