So that's all my rant tonight about my ideal views to live by and I'm still learning it everyday especially the temperance virtue. I always had a hard time battling my urges to indulge in partying, drinking booze, and substance abuse.
It's me VS me every single time.
My fav quotes from stoicism:
-Just be good, the rest doesn't matter
-People's opinion really can't harm you
-A thing only can ruin your life if it can ruin your character
-Memento Mori; remember you'll die
-Amor Fati: deeply loving your fate
-Act with virtue in mind, always
Oh, and Marcus also reminded us to always have a good skill in communicating and working with other people while watching ourselves closely to not make any careless and thoughtless action based on a mere weak thing such as EMOTION.
You can make your daily routines & minor problems your source of sadness, or you can take it as an exciting challenge to prove how beautiful you can solve it.
Just be in the mood of 'a good character' daily, that's the ultimate battle in life.
