What if instead of trying to be some unassailable force of moral good in the world, each of us just tried to be a little bit better whenever we saw an opportunity? What kind of cumulative difference would that end up making?

Everyone has opportunities to do this. Opportunities to put their phone down and really listen to someone who needs to be heard. Opportunities to contribute some spare change to a worthy cause. Opportunities to let their employees go home early from work. Opportunities to pass on an unnecessary cross country flight or to pick up some trash or to hold the door open for someone.

These are little actions. They won’t make you a sage or a saint. But they will make a little improvement to the world and to yourself. And if we all did them—and if we all did them more often—they would add up to real transformation.

In this video Ryan Holiday and Guy Raz sat down in San Francisco to talk about living up to the Stoic principles, how to structure your days, and how to get better a little bit every day.
