2000 Year Old Stoic Rules For Life

Stoicism and Stoic philosophy have been around for thousands of year. Founded by Zeno of Citium, the original Stoics used to gather in Athens to discuss the best ways to live a good life, and how to remain resilient while enduring hardship and adversity.
Since then many Stoics have come and gone, but very little of the ancient Stoic literature still exists, and modern Stoicism is a built upon fragments of work alongside the writing of Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius.
This is a compilation and collection of Stoic quotes and philosophy to help spread the value that's been applied for thousands of years.
I hope you find it useful.

As a nation Sparta was feared for it's soldiers, and respected for its way of life. In modern say, the Spartans are still held in high regard, and the Spartan helmet and shield still used as a symbol to reflect their values almost 2000 years later.
These quotes help to explain the Spartan philosophy and the mindset of Sparta, a mindset that helps us remain calm, collected and resilient in the face of hardship, adversity, and events that threaten to invade our peace of mind.

Without understanding philosophy of life as brought out by stoics, life is a dry, drairy and dreaded journey. When reading habits are dying such educative videos are undoubtedly great service to education of humanity which is at present condemned to live superficially and in self made delusions and sufferings. Great work, meaningful and purposeful! It helps in understanding the mystery called life, enables to face the reality, endure the sufferings, move forward and live every moment of life with wisdom.

[@user-tx9dn8ve7n]

All we ever really know is "I think there for I am" all the rest is subjective. For instance how do we really know that reality isn't one big dream your having. How do any of us know if anything is really real. Even though I'm writing this to you how do you know I exist maybe everything that happens in the world is really just happening in your head and the rest of us are figments of your imagination and maybe, just maybe this message is just your subconscious helping you realise that.

All this is truly possible through this amazing channel I've come across here of "Stoicism" and its philosophies. I am blessed to be now part of this community/family something I had been longing for and in return since I started numerous months ago, I to have seen the layers of negative baggage that was weighing me down shedding away and in return new and renew awesomeness for life in living and the acceptance of finding my way in harmony with myself and this amazing world. Graciously, thank you for creating this channel and allowing us all beings that share a common respect and passion for the ancient love that "Stoicism" deserves... Until again...be bless, be safe and be kind...

If you really want to escape the things that harass you. What youre needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.--------- True happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependence on the future not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have which is sufficient for he that is so wants nothing.
