5 LIFE CHANGING LESSONS FROM THE STOICS

5 Life changing lessons from the Stoics.

1. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
2. The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control.
3. If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
4. He who is not a good servant will not be a good master.
5. You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
