In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from our deeper selves. But what if ancient wisdom could provide the answers to modern dilemmas? Dive into the timeless teachings of Seneca, one of Stoicism's leading figures, as we unpack 12 profound lessons from his "Letters from a Stoic". From navigating life's storms to cherishing the present, from cultivating true friendships to understanding the nature of real wealth - Seneca's insights remind us of the essence of a good life. Whether you're new to Stoicism or a seasoned philosopher, this guide offers valuable reflections to enrich your journey.
Remember, the essence of Stoic philosophy is not just in understanding but in living it. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.

“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.” ― Roy T. Bennett,

When we were kids my sister worshipped Madonna. She was about 11. My sister was playing 'material girl' over and over. My granddad tried to explain that Madonna will always be poor and never be satisfied. I was 30 before I realised what he meant. I was 40 before I realised that my Grandfather (the most liked man I've ever known) unknowingly lived the life of a stoic. My sister still sees madonnas millions and remembers my Grandfather as a fool

@rarebird_82 7 ай бұрын

Look at Madonna today, embarrassing. She should've turned it in at 40 and bowed out with grace. She's a multimillionaire, but she's morally and spiritually bankrupt. Your grandfather was right ✌🏻

"Craving for more is the real poverty", this is the counter arguement to a consumerist world, no wonder happiness levels are going down the 'richer' we get

@stoic_movement 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely. True wealth lies in contentment and understanding our inner desires. 🧘‍♂ The more we chase, the further happiness eludes us. It's about finding balance in a world of excess. 🌍💡 Keep that insight close. 👊🌟

Freedom is the open sky through which pours the light of the human spirit. Embrace it, rise in love with its constant growth and stream of change from where it all flows from, the open heart, to live in a way that enhances peace and the freedom of others. Always believe that life is worth living, and our belief and what we create will make our life better.

bukowski's "don't try" gravestone sums up this entire philosophy in two words, imho

@jimhull3103 8 ай бұрын

Don't waste time, focus on what's in your control, and live virtuously doesn't equal "don't try" imo. Training yourself to accomplish those things requires considerable effort.

@JHadsfsad 8 ай бұрын

go read "the laughing heart" by buk. or "so you want to be a writer." then get back to me about what it means to be human. his gravestone says what is says for a reason. @@jimhull3103

"dont waste time. focus on whats in your control. live virtuously." these are things they teach you in grade school. anyone can do that. im not talking about setting goals and accomplishing them. im talking about knowing what goals to set and why. @@jimhull3103

Seneca was a very nice person. But he didn't know that life is just a puff of smoke. All that philosophizing for what? In the scheme of things our life is about as long as a maggot to a fly.
