“Who exactly do you want to be? What kind of person do you
want to be? What are your personal ideals? Whom do you admire?
What are their special traits that you would make your own?
It’s time to stop being vague. If you wish to be an
extraordinary person, if you wish to become wise, then you
should explicitly identify the kind of person you aspire to
become. If you have a daybook, write down who you’re trying to
be, so that you can refer to this self-determination.
Precisely describe the demeanor you want to adopt so that you may preserve it when you are by yourself or with other
people.”

— Epictetus
