The classic Stoic thinking

An event itself is objective. It is neither good or bad, but our opinion makes it so. This makes it possible for us to choose our outcome. For some, their mental impulse is that of victim mindset and as a result suffer needlessly. The Stoics will choose acceptance as the way, and actively look for the blessing in disguise. Do not confuse acceptance with passive. It's an active process to make a positive experience; As my cousin would say with a smile, "be cool".

  1. It is really informative blog post, I search on it and find that, stoicism has just a few central teachings. It sets out to remind us of how unpredictable the world can be. Stoicism does n’t concern itself with complicated theories about the world, but with helping us overcome destructive emotions and act on what can be acted upon. It’s built for action, not endless debate.
