When I broke my neck I found a great joy:

Stoic Philosophy.

Here’re 5 powerful ideas to upgrade your perspective, persistence and make the most of life:

Stoicism may have started over 2000 years ago, but the advice is perfect for today.

No other philosophy will bring you success and calm in equal measures.

Here's a 3-minute crash course:

There are two areas of life:

What you can control and what you can’t.

When you focus on what you can, you become powerful.

When you ignore what you can’t, you become free.

Give 100% to the 2% that counts.

Life is suffering.

But that doesn’t mean you have to.

What happens, happens. It’s your response that's important.

Even in the darkest of times, this truth applies:

Choose not to be harmed, and you won’t be.

You can get angry or you can accept.

You can play victim or you can play hero.

The world is unfair or each day is a gift.

Life marches on regardless.

It's on you to pick the best perspective.
