There is something holy about taking up the task of stewarding a life, especially our own. If we come to this work at all, we must come with humble expectations and a willingness to be led. We submit to the process, trusting that the science is sound, even when what we’re called to do hurts. Russ Ramsey
About This Quote

When people talk about being stewards of a life, they are speaking about the idea that we should work hard and do whatever we can to protect and preserve the lives of those we love. That’s what we do here at “The Daily Stoic.” We help people see their lives with clearer eyes and we help others make the most of every day. When you look at your life as a whole, you realize that it is really quite small. It has only a certain amount of time that you have to spend on Earth, and after that it is gone.

So, you want to make sure that every moment spent is spent doing what matters most. Being a good steward of your life means living your life to the fullest and protecting the ones you love from harm.
