The focus of Stoicism is to focus on the third events and find peace in life. One should not be upset by events that are beyond his control. This does not make the person a loser; but if you don&#8217;t make good use of the events that are within your control, then the restlessness begins.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">E.g; A person can complain about the country he lives in or his family. In a Stoic approach, the person is aware that these are out of his control and focuses on the things he can change and improve at peace with himself as he builds his future.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Marcus Aurelius says most people spend their free time thinking about things they want but don&#8217;t have. A person who achieves what he wants spends his life wanting more.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Stoic thought suggests that one should first know the value of what one has. Constant wanting is one of the biggest obstacles to finding peace.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The Stoics also advise that we should not rely on anything superfluous in life for inner peace, that we should live according to human nature. E.g; If you put money at the center of your life, one day you won&#8217;t know how to live when you run out of money and it weakens you. If you put appreciation at the center of your life, you won&#8217;t know what to do when you have a downturn in your life.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s key for a peaceful life to put things that cannot be taken away from you, instead of things that can go away and depend on the outside.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"2172480693\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To-better-understand-Stoicism-you-can-look-at-aphorisms-from-the-Stoic-philosopher-Seneca\"><\/span>To better understand Stoicism, you can look at aphorisms from the Stoic philosopher Seneca. <a style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #660099; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; white-space: nowrap; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emojibase.com\/emoji\/1f447\/whitedownpointingbackhandindex\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/2.4\/svg\/1f447.svg\" alt=\"?\"><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/senecadan-hayata-bakis-acinizi-degistirecek-altin-degerinde-20-aforizma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-799\/my6fn6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"212\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s face it, most of our mental distress comes from wanting things we don&#8217;t have and not appreciating what we have.&#8221; How can an entrepreneur who created a world-leading brand and a philosopher who lived before Christ meet at a common point?
