“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be One.” – Marcus Aurelius
This Roman emperor was a prominent practitioner of Stoicism. Stoics are by dictionary people who can endure hardship without showing their feelings. This article (20 min read) delves into 5 tactics of these stoics and their application in modern life of ours.
To quote from the article.. “Stoics are in fact the ultimate optimists. Consider the image of a 16oz drinking glass holding 8oz of water. It’s of course either half full or half empty, right? The Stoic, though, would actually just be grateful that there was any water at all! And that there was a vessel to hold that water to boot. The Stoic takes nothing for granted.”
