The Power of Stoicism

In recent history stoicism has found huge appeal. The principles of stoicism can help us find calmness, presence and resilience in a world of increasingly overt chaos,. anxiety and insatiable desire for more. In stoicism we exist in a reality that does not care about our personal opinion of it. When we persist with the belief that things outside ourself will provide us with the form of ultimate happiness, we become dependent on things that are not part of us nor part of what we can control.
