Building Your Stoic Character

Explore character building with Stoic reflections and actions. Embrace life's tests to chisel your core essence and grow.

Good morning,

Today, let's dive into a topic that's both foundational and complex: character building.

Just as the marble doesn't shape itself, so too must we actively chisel, polish, and refine our inner selves.

Think of character as the essence—the very core—of who you are.

It's not about who you appear to be when times are easy, but rather who you reveal yourself to be when tested. Stoics would argue that life’s pressures aren't adversities, but furnaces—refining us, making us gleam.

It's fascinating, isn't it?

How our moments of struggle chisel our core, revealing intricacies we didn’t know existed.
