Dialy stoic notes

• The four virtues: Courage, self control, justice, wisdom

• Questions: "What is the best way to live?" "What do I do about my anger?" "What are my obligations to my fellow human beings?" "I'm afraid to die; why is that?" "How can I deal with the difficult situations I face?" "How should I handle the success or power I hold?"

• The disciplines:

  • The Discipline of Perception (how we see and perceive the world around us)

  • The Discipline of Action (the decisions and actions we take-and to what end)

  • The Discipline of Will (how we deal with the things we cannot change, attain clear and convincing judgment, and come to a true understanding of our place in the world)

  • Perception =clarity.

  • Action = effectiveness.

  • Will=wisdom & perspective

• Control your perceptions, direct your actions properly, willingly accept what is outside your control.
