What is the reason for being a Stoic?
3 Advantages of Choosing Stoic Philosophy
These advantages could change the way you face challenges and radically alter the way you live your daily life.
Benefit 1 Develop Self-discipline
Self-control is an important part of Stoic philosophy. According to the Stoics, each of us has a mission in this world and the universe requires us to fulfill our mission. Stoics believe that in order to fulfill our mission and achieve our goals, we must be disciplined. Stoics teach self-discipline. The Stoics teach us self-control through methods such as the Stoic diary or the study of the Stoic sage.
The Stoics of the past also advise us to maintain self-control in our conduct and character. Being a Stoic involves living a life based on integrity and never straying from your path to wisdom. It is a conscious choice that requires a lot of self-control and self-restraint.
Benefit 2 Endure suffering well
Stoicism can teach us how to endure suffering. Attempting to avoid suffering altogether is a mistake that can create more pain. The ancient Stoics knew this and showed us how to transform our suffering into growth by using Stoic methods such as focusing on what we can control and practicing mental detachment. It is through the practice of Stoicism that we become able to make sense of our struggles and avoid unnecessary suffering.
Benefit 3 Having fewer needs
Stoicism teaches that wealth is not about having a large amount of money, but about having few needs. Every day we are bombarded with advertisements promoting products that can improve our lives, such as an expensive car or the latest cell phone. But Stoicism teaches that the true source of happiness is living a moral and healthy life.
The Stoics knew that this world is not capable of providing us with lasting happiness, as well as that it is best to desire only the things we already have, such as health, friends and family. Being stoic means that your mind reminds you that the less you need, the greater your power.
