The Daily Laws

By Robert Greene

Intro: 366 Meditations

Happy New Year! 2024 went by so quickly I can hardly believe today is the first day 2025. A new year is ahead of us and another year is behind us. 365 days to dedicate towards your goals and work on your most valuable asset: your mind. What will you do differently that you didn’t do last year to improve this asset of yours? Will you subscribe to my newsletter for fortnightly knowledge from some of the best self-help books? Will you take up a course or apprenticeship? Will you train your body to discipline your mind? With so many options to choose from it can be hard to choose the right one for you. But remember, there is no right one for you, any of them are as good as each other; so just make a choice and stick to it. I would advise you to do multiple like me: training the body, subscribing to the newsletter, meditating and learning to be better at chess and sudoku.

However this time, I will focus more on the meditation side. But I am not talking about breathing techniques and switching my brain off, I am talking about meditation so adept it will build mental fortitude, teach you new skills and help you calm down so you can focus on what matters in life. I am talking about the meditations in this book; a meditation for every day of the year. All you have to do is read the text, the daily law and an accompanying quote and just reflect on that for 5-10 minutes. I’ll write today’s one below but if you want all of them, you're going to have to subscribe and break the subscriber wall:

“Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated.”

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Daily Law: Mastery is a process and discovering your calling is the starting point.
