Stoicism as a Toolkit for Modern Life

Life’s only limitations are those you set upon yourself.

Stop being; start doing – I just listened to Carol Dweck’s personal development talk about the growth mindset, the power of “yet,” and how we need to challenge ourselves to become mentally tough, more capable, and happier, overall. This is not just helpful for children, but for adults, because learning is lifelong.

From The Daily Stoic https://dailystoic.com

#1 – Visualize your life without the things you love
#2 – Meditate on death
#3 – Detach yourself from outcomes
#4 – Welcome discomfort
#5 – Vigorously pursue character and virtue

I’d add a couple more to this list, that may not be ancient, but are things that I am mastering, for my own happiness.

#6 – Don’t compare your experiences to others’.

#7 – Live without expectations, or at least lower them greatly.

5 Ancient Stoic Tactics for Modern Life

Equality of outcome is ridiculous and impossible. It’s not philosophy that says so, it’s science. Can’t argue with that.

True love does not exist where there is comparison.

A mind divided by comparisons and enslaved by dualism destroys love.

Fix only the things you can.

And “act as if Being is good and orient yourself to the highest possible good you can conceive of.”
