Stoicism has had a major impact on Western thought, and its principles can still be applied to our lives today. For example, Stoics can teach us how to:

Deal with difficult emotions by understanding that they are not caused by external events, but rather by our own thoughts and interpretations of those events.
Live in the present moment by focusing on what we can control and letting go of what we cannot.
Find meaning in life by living in accordance with our own values and principles.
