Enchiridion 29 can be considered seeking what we call a lifestyle. What do you want your life to look like. You need to commit to something with focus. You need to have discipline for the life you want.

If you do not do this you will settle back to a state of status quo. Setbacks can happen and it requires understanding your purpose to deal with them. It is up to us to make the life we want. We have an inner greatness that can be shaped with Stoic principles.

Everyone is born with a potential to achieve greatness, yet not many of us manage to achieve that greatness. If you want to inspire yourself to greatness then you need to consciously examine your habits and learn to change them when they no longer serve your purpose.

Greatness won't just appear because you think you're great or you're thinking about being great. It's a virtue that you have to nurture, you have to invest in it and be intentional about it.
