Stoicism – an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge
Much of the teachings and literature on Stoicism is still very relevant in our modern world. I really liked the Roman Emperor / Stoic – Marcus Aurelius
Everyday I read a book by Ryan Holliday – The Daily Stoic. 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and The Art of Living.
The following reading is from March 21st.
“People seek retreats for themselves in the country, by the sea, or in the mountains. You are very much in the habit of yearning for those same things. But this is entirely the trait of a base person, when you can, at any moment, find such a retreat in yourself. For nowhere can you find a more peaceful and less busy retreat than in your own soul- especially if on close inspection it is filled with ease, which I say is nothing more that being well-ordered. Treat yourself often to this retreat and be renewed.” – Marcus Aurelius, – Meditations, 4.3.1
Stop looking to the outside world to find peace. Find Solace within Yourself.
