Practical Stoicism: Controlling What You Can
Stoicism teaches the importance of focusing on what we can control rather than trying to control external factors. The speaker shares their personal experience of having a short temper and saying hurtful things to loved ones. Through studying Stoicism and journaling, they realized that the root of their anger was an attempt to control what others thought and felt about them. By internalizing that they can only control their own reactions, they were able to let go of the need for external control. This shift in mindset greatly improved their relationships and overall happiness.
