*The secret to winning the game of life isn’t about accumulating wealth, fame, or power, but about mastering your inner world. According to Stoicism, true victory comes from controlling your emotions, living in harmony with your values, and embracing the challenges life throws your way with courage and resilience. It’s about recognizing what is within your control and letting go of the rest, understanding that external circumstances don’t define your happiness-your mindset does. By cultivating wisdom, practicing self-discipline, and maintaining inner peace regardless of the chaos around you, you become unshakeable. Winning in life, according to Stoic philosophy, is not about conquering others, but about conquering yourself. And when you achieve that, you find a sense of fulfillment that no external success can ever match.*
@@rogerduplacy4770 The journey of absorbing wisdom, especially through Stoic teachings, is not just about accumulating knowledge but about applying it to our daily lives in meaningful ways. Stoicism is a lifelong practice of self-mastery, and knowing that these lessons are connecting with thoughtful individuals like yourself is truly inspiring. Has a particular Stoic lesson or practice resonated with you in your journey?
It's amazing how much peace we can gain by accepting things as they are, rather than constantly fighting against the current. Such a valuable Stoic principle to live by.
These are all great guidelines! I don't know how l have managed to use all these in my life but l actually have! I am 70 yrs old so maybe by the time a person gets ti be this age we have had time to use these....🎉😊 Thank you! I hadn't heard of Stoic wisdom until now! Lol! I thought l was using the teachings of my Dad, l guess he was a stoic with a strong belief in God! As a child l thought all children had fathers like mine! I thought it was a form of common sense or something Dad learned in the Army in WWIl. Now l know.....very interesting to find this out!
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear how Stoic principles have been part of your life all along. Your dad sounds like an amazing influence! It’s never too late to discover and embrace these teachings. Cheers to your journey! 🎉😊
