Stoicism



Stoicism is a school of philosophy of personal ethics founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early third century BCE. According to its teachings, happiness can be found by accepting the moment as it presents itself, accepting what is not within one’s control, and not allowing oneself to be controlled by an emotional reaction to events. One of the primary mindsets of a stoic is “I cannot choose my circumstances, I can only choose my reaction to my circumstances.”
