Seneca Quote

Quote Of The Day

Seneca Quote:

"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness." - Seneca Quote


What’s Up With Pooj?

Not much. My cousin is back from Thailand which is cool. I’m excited to hang out with him more since he’ll be off to college soon. He brought back a lot of gifts which were honestly perfect- they were exactly the kind of things I would have wanted as a gift. I’ll share a picture of the stuff below if I remember. (I forgot will share it another time!)

Other than that, not much going on with me which I’m fine with. My appetite is back which is cool. I don’t know if I had mentioned here but for a while my appetite was completely gone. It wasn’t that I wasn’t hungry it’s just that I didn’t feel like eating. It was weird because I love eating, you guys know how important food is to me lol. Due to this, I went from a size 12 to a six 6 and this week I’ve been trying on size 4 dresses and they fit perfectly which is scary.

I know a lot of people are into being super skinny again with the Ozempic and stuff but I’m not. I loved being curvy. Now that I’m able to eat well again, I’m hoping my size will go back to normal. Otherwise, I’m going to have to get some blood tests done which will really suck.

  1. Love the Seneca quote!

    1. Thanks, I came across it recently and it really connected!

  2. FYI, the great Stoic Seneca’s brother Gallio is in the bible, Acts 18:12-17, some Stoicism concepts are biblical concepts, Stoicism have great practices.

    I’m a Christian but I love many stoic concepts also, many are the same.

    I’m glad your doing fine and gaining weight. Keep moving forward.

    1. That’s so interesting, I had no idea about Gallio. I agree, I studied the Bible in one of my university courses and there are definitely some concepts that are very aligned with Stoicism.

      Thank you so much.

  3. That comment by Seneca is really sweet! And I’m very glad to hear that you’ve got your appetite back! 💖💗

    1. It is, when I read it I knew I had to share it here! Thanks so much! 💕

      1. You’re very welcome as always! 💖💕💗❤️

  4. I like the quote. So much selfishness in our world today and we need to have a change of perspective. Looking after the needs of others makes sense as it rebounds in so many ways to benefit us.

    1. I agree, there is such a lack of empathy, compassion and kindness these days. Caring about others, especially those around us is important and yes we do benefit from it as individuals and as a collective.

  5. Why am I not seeing the quote? WTH ….Pooja that’s a lot of weight to lose so fast. That’s really wild. I hope everything is ok.. not to make you worry… but it’s probs good to get some tests. What fun to have your cousin home and treasures from Thailand. That’s on my list to go too! 💗

    1. That’s so weird, WP is glitchy sometimes try refreshing.
      Yeah, it’s weird and I had to buy like a bunch of clothes because most of mine don’t fit which was annoying. Will most likely get tests done soon.
      It was great, he had a blast and I love the presents! Same, Thailand is so beautiful and inexpensive 💕

      1. It sure is and I’ll look again. Wow, usually it’s the other way around so enjoy the flip side of life as long as all is well. Glad you’ll get tests done. Oh how fun is that. So good to know we still can find deals somewhere! 💓

  6. Thank you for the quote, Pooja!

    I would like to know about the gifts.

    Good health is important. For that you need to maintain enough weight.
    It helps to recover faster & better if you sick (immunity).
    Also, when you are physically strong you can do many things on your own.

    At present I am curious to gain new knowledge and update existing one.
    So I will be reading some thoughtful work from the trusted sources.
    I want to continue my academic journey (if possible).

    🙂

    1. Yeah, I agree life is tougher when we don’t have our health. That’s great, it’s important to keep learning daily or at least whenever possible. Thanks so much 🙂

  7. I love that quote. Kindness is one good thing that we can all add to the world.

    1. Yes, absolutely. I think the world would really thrive if we were kinder to one another.

      1. Seems like a simple ask, but looking at how our leaders treat others, it seems to be too much to ask!

        1. Exactly, it seems so simple and yet impossible with how everyone is behaving right now!

  8. I’m glad to hear you are back to life, it’s awesome! When you woke up with an appetite what was the first thing you wanted? Maybe it was a list of things… Yesterday I listened to Zedz Dead, it was pretty good “One of these mornings”
    Tomorrow I’m going to try a new job, wish me luck. It feels really strange but good. I will bring the quote with me tomorrow, so I remember to be kind to myself lol and others …

    1. Good luck with your new job, remember to be extra kind lol.

      The first thing I was craving was nachos lol.

      1. Nachos? Unexpected choice haha

        1. Ikr so unexpected I don’t even eat nachos that much lol.

          1. Haha, so funny

  9. Love the quote! If only we could get everyone to believe that.

    1. If only, the world would be such a better place with more kindness.

  10. 🙏🌹👍

    Aum Shanti

  12. Glad to hear that you are eating again and getting gifts. I like the quote. I am not sure you can ever have too much kindness these days.

    1. Thanks so much. Yes, totally agree.

  13. I’m with you about not liking that super skinny look. I’ve told Mrs B from when we were courting that I was more than ok if she put on weight, as long as she stayed healthy. It’s worked out well too, for which I’m thankful.
    So I hope you are ok…

    1. Exactly, it’s all about being healthy not about being a particular weight. Thanks, I’m much better for the last few days.

    Lovely quote!

  15. a great quote …and so true.

    glad you feeling better and eating well again, Pooja … take care …
    🤍

    1. Thank you so much 😊💕

  16. Thank you for follow!

    1. My pleasure!

  17. Love this quote. There is always an opportunity for kindness! Glad to hear your appetite is back!

    1. Thank you and absolutely agree!

  18. That’s a great quote, Pooja! That’s a lot of weight to lose, but since your appetite is back, hopefully all is okay. I lost a lot of weight last year, and gained some back, which is good because I was too thin. There are times when I lose my appetite too, but it is usually short-lived.

    1. Thank you! I think it happens when we’re more stressed out etc. Glad you’ve gained some of it back too. It’s scary when we’re suddenly much smaller then we usually are.

      1. I keep 2 sizes of clothes in my closet, and have forever. 5 pounds up or down make a big difference! LOL

        1. I’m going to have to do the same, I had to buy some new ones that fit better and will probably hang on to them even if I gain the weight back. Yeah, especially when you’re not super tall even small amounts of weight loss are noticeable!

          1. I’m 5’5″ and my weight fluctuates between 100 and 112. Ideally, I prefer to weigh 110.

            1. That’s quite skinny so I understand.

  19. I just hope that the good side of humans wins out against the bad side. We have a propensity for both!
    Eat well Pooj! Get to a healthy weight!

    1. I hope so too but things don’t look great right now. It feels like the good are always losing.
      Thank you!

  20. Love the quote. One small kindness makes a world of difference. I’m happy you aren’t obsessed with skinny, Pooja. Natural and curvy is good. Hugs to you.

  21. Love the Seneca quote, and I’m glad you’re eating again. I lose my appetite when in great anxiety, and it’s a strange feeling. I may joke about needing to lose it more often, but loss of appetite often means loss of energy/creativity eventually. So no thanks! 🙂

    1. Thanks so much. I’m the same way, I think I stop eating when I’m stressed out. Lol same here, it’s not just losing weight it’s like being numb!

  22. This is a beautiful quote by Seneca. Similar thoughts have been.spoken by other philosophers and religious figures. Maybe someday we will listen and act accordingly. Stay well.my friend!

    1. Yes, I think kindness has been emphasised many times throughout history. I hope we do listen someday but it’s starting to feel like humans are doomed to constantly make the same mistakes. Thanks and you as well!

  23. I love the quote by Seneca, the first thought that came to mind was that not only humans can exhibit kindness, I’ve seen and heard of tales from the animal world that make my heart melt too. 💞

    1. That is so true, in some ways I find that animals are even kinder than humans! 💕

  24. This quote is so true! Yet again another person I havent heard of so thank you for introducing me to them! ✨️

    1. Happy to do so, I love finding these quotes! 😊

  25. This is a great quote 🤣😎🙃

    1. Glad you enjoyed it!
