2/⌛ Life is long enough if well-lived: Seneca argues that life isn't too short, but rather, we waste much of it. Focus on what truly matters, and you'll find that life is ample.

💡This is my favorite quote from the book: People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time, they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy
