Using Stoic Wisdom In Everyday Life
Awareness is the secret
Stoicism is a wonderful philosophy that can explain day-to-day situations; give us understanding, out of which we gain the power. It all sounds so logical when reading the wisdom, but it can often happen that you don’t know how to apply it to your own life.
Reading is just the first part — the other is the practice. In this article, we will focus on the latter; putting you on a road to mastery.
Becoming An Expert
If you want to become great at anything, you need to follow the learning and practicing what you’ve learned. Learning without practicing is just entertainment; it will always leave your mind sooner or later. You’ll gain just a fraction of the benefits — if any at all.
Practise is a repetition of positive actions. In his amazing book Innercise, John Assaraf claims that repetition fires the same neurons in our brains over and over, making us react quicker and better in similar situations.
Repetition leads to mastery. Everything you’re good at in your life is so because you’ve repeated the right action many times. But how can you become a master of Stoicism if you don’t know how to practice at all?
