As someone deeply influenced by Existentialism (absurdist Camus gets lumped in with them) in my formative young adult years, I must say embracing life’s absurdity makes goal setting especially difficult. Without clear goals, motivation becomes a challenge. I suppose it is especially inspirational and motivating to see Camus had such inner positivity and it is a good reminder to choose happiness, to choose our goals and follow through.

Stoicism adds the actionable structure that I think existentialist (and moreso with absurdist) philosophy lack.

I still need to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius q_q
