S2 E11 Top 5 Life Habits You Should Consistently Do (Part 2)

Lifehabit # 3 - Practice Stoicism

Stoicism is one of the branches of philosophy primarily concerned with finding the best way to live ones life and in figuring-out how to flourish as human beings. Focusing in understanding the different virtues, and learning how to achieve being a virtuous human being.

Happiness depends on virtue, not on pleasure, money, fame or any external good. To define

Virtue, it consists an inner harmony where reason, the faculty which links us with the divine, controls the passions and appetites, and in an outer harmony, for which we submit to providence, and acceptance of the workings of the universe as it is.

The 4 Foundational Virtues of Stoicism

1. Justice

In general the Stoic definition of Justice is something like applying wisdom to relations with other people. Kindness and fairness can be the end results of trying to figure out what is appropriate.

Justice is the fuel to reason. To execute these, we must practice

First Kindness -which  doing good to others.

2nd is Sociability the appropriate social interaction  with others.

And 3rd.. Companionship - Supporting others and not bringing them down

2. Temperance

It describes self-restraint, typically temperance with pleasure and material goods; avoiding excessiveness, doing things at the right amount and the right way.

This virtue is about soberness, moderation, or continence

One way of thinking about it is with reference to desire. "Passions" of desire are emotions that lead to binging, or other kinds of desire-related impulses that result in action against one's best judgement.

3. Courage

Courage means to face that which life throws at us, willingly and acceptingly: happily overcoming challenges and solving problems and getting active in our duties and priorities. It may help to understand that Courage doesn't suggest not feeling fear, but acting despite anxiety.

4. Wisdom
