This is the time of year that Spotify provides the summary of your listening habits for the year. I have started to see these posts from friends and family Instagram. Therefore, the timing was perfect to run across this quote by Epictetus.
I look at the hours devoted to specific podcasts and muscians and I wonder if we haven’t just handed over our minds. I have not gotten my Spotify summary yet, so I am not judging or confessing. I am making a plan. I know what I will be looking for when my summary comes in.
Have I had a promiscuous mind?
I am not against intellectual inquire, but let’s be honest, that is not what Spotify is primarily about. It is mostly about entertaining, amusing, distracting, and simply filling the time. Consider who you have handed your mind over to? Consider who has become your primary influencer? Before we ever offer the parts of our body to sin, we offer up our minds.
A DEVOTED LIFE
