Stoicism

Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that teaches the development of self-control and resilience as a way to achieve a virtuous and contented life. It emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between what we can control (our thoughts, actions, and responses) and what we cannot (external events and the actions of others). Stoics advocate for accepting challenges calmly and focusing on our reactions rather than the situation itself. By practicing mindfulness, gratitude, and virtue, Stoicism encourages individuals to cultivate inner peace and emotional fortitude in the face of life’s difficulties.
