Stoicism Explained In 3 Minutes - YouTube

"The chief task of the "philosopher" (love of wisdom)
is to determine what is up to as and what's not up to us"

Definition of stoicism: we don't control what happens to us
but we can control how we respond to what happens to us.

Everything that happens is an opportunity to respond with "4 virtues"

• Courage (bravery, endurance, fortitude) 
  
• Justice (fairness, good conduct)
  
• Temperance (self discipline, right amount, obtain from things that don't matter)
• Wisdom (study, life-long education jurney)

"It's not what happens, it's how you respond to what happens"

"What stands in the way becomes a way"

"Practice, be your best self"

"it is not what one says, it is what one does"
