About Stoic-Aurea
This website serves as a tool/resource designed to apply the ancient philosophical school of “Stoicism” to today’s modern, stressful, and fast-paced world. The site is designed both for those who are just learning about Stoicism and for those who would like to have a “quick Stoic” guide on hand during a stressful moment. Drawing on the philosophy itself—namely, the principle of simplicity—Stoic-Aurea aims to remind us of the things we can control and the truly key factors for a more mindful and peaceful life.
Created by someone who is neither a psychologist nor a professor, but rather someone who has been reading and applying the principles of philosophy for a year and has noticed the change, my goal is to remind people of the one form of control they have (over their emotions), to encourage them to strive for improvement rather than perfection, and to introduce them more closely to the advice of the ancient Stoics.
On this journey toward growth and a more mindful life, we’ll be in this together!
“You have control over your mind, not over external events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
-Marcus Aurelius
What Is the Philosophy of “Stoicism”?
Stoicism originated more than 2,000 years ago in Ancient Greece. Its founder was Zeno. The philosophy focuses primarily on how to live calmly and wisely in a world where you cannot control the events that happen to you.
Stoicism teaches inner independence, emotional resilience, and virtue as a means of achieving a fulfilling life. It encourages us to focus on the things we can control (thoughts, actions) and to accept external circumstances with steadfastness and courage.
Its key figures include Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius.
