The Stoic Magazine Library

By releasing guilt like an old piece of luggage and embracing the lessons we learn from our experiences, we can discover the valuable giſt hidden within our mistakes.

We can learn from the ancient Stoics on mitigating anger, an emotion considered a “temporary madness.”

A reservoir of courage is within us. Acknowledge and harness its power.

To think that we alone are responsible for the positive aspects of our lives, especially when it comes to good fortune, would be an act of arrogance.

Self-reliance means cutting the invisible cords that attach us to the whims of Fate.

Stoicism teaches us we do have choices. We have ultimate control, even in the most difficult situations.

Even if we fail to apply Stoic doctrine and associated virtues, there’s always another situation lurking for us to do so. We brush ourselves off and try again. That’s what being a real Stoic is all about.
