The world is full of setbacks, and stoicism is the art of resilience in the face of them.
Stoicism is not about being a cold, unfeeling person who never gets upset or hurt. Stoicism is about finding strength in the face of adversity and learning how to use that adversity as fuel for your growth. It’s about finding the silver lining in every cloud, even if it is just a little bit more grit for your next battle.
Stoicism doesn’t mean you don’t feel things; it means you don’t let those feelings rule you. You keep going even when everything seems wrong because you know that things will work out one way or another—and you’ll be stronger for having gone through it.
