What Does Stoic Training Involve?
Thoughtful processing of what is happening to you and through you.
Humility – the journey to eudaimonia is a long and arduous path and you won’t always take the right path.
Excellence – in thoughts, actions, and attitude, the only things you have full control over.
Strength – both physical and emotional. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy.
Tenacity – there will be days where you will get tired and frustrated. Remember who you are and what you seek in life.
Open-mindedness – knowing that the way you do things isn’t necessarily the best way.
Intelligence – it will help you see the world for what it is, you for who you are and others as they are.
Courage – to do what is right for the right reason.
Generosity of mind and spirit, especially when it comes to how you deal with your mistakes and those of others.
Yearning – to grow, to learn, and to teach others the path that the Ancients trod.
Mastery of your emotions so that you move towards eudaimonia, not away from it.
