Remember to Live

Stoicism, like most schools of philosophy, is far-reaching and complicated. But it is also both beautiful and notable for its simplicity. I enjoy philosophy, but I’m very much a layman. Sans any PhD hanging on my wall, here is how I can best convey my understanding of it: Your mind creates your reality, and your mind can be trained. Fate exists and is beyond our control. Events both good and bad will unfurl in our lives. And our greatest power resides in the moment we choose how to respond.
