The wise path is to focus on what you can control and not worry about the rest.</li>\n<li>Very little is needed for a happy life. Try being good. Moral excellence alone can do the trick.</li>\n<li>It’s not stuff in the world that bothers us but how we think about stuff in the world.</li>\n<li>The only true good is <em>virtue</em> (the Greek word <em>arete, </em>translated as virtue<em>,</em> means “inner strength”). The only essentially bad thing is <em>vice</em> (a sort of moral failing or weakness).</li>\n<li>A good person does not have to fear harm from anything or anyone. The only thing that can really harm us is our own freely chosen wrongful choices.</li>\n<li>The two most distinctive things about human beings are our reason and our relationality. We can think in powerful, intricate ways and form amazing, complex communities.</li>\n<li>We all have circles of influence and belonging in the world.

Enjoy your good fortune without going off the deep end.</li>\n<li>When you feel yourself getting irritated or angry, pause, breathe, give yourself a minute. Remember that life is hard, everybody has their struggles and bad days, and kindness is always the better option.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Learn to roll with the punches and make lemonade out of lemons.

General Philosophy Stoicism For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Cheat Sheet / Updated 12-21-2023

Stoicism is an ancient philosophy that has become amazingly popular throughout the world in just the past few years. Philosophy? Popular? Yes, it is amazing. But it’s also true. In business, sports, entertainment, and the military, Stoicism is huge. Stoicism got its start in Athens, Greece around the year 300 BCE. This philosophy migrated to mighty Rome where it flourished as a very popular and highly practical way of living. But like so many once-popular philosophies, it began to wane in its public influence. But throughout the centuries, and especially in times of turbulence and turmoil, it seems that people have rediscovered this ancient body of wisdom, one that’s perfect for periods of disruptive change and uncertainty.
