The Stoic Sage: How to Become Your Best Self
Do you have someone you look up to? A role model? Someone you aspire to be like?
If not, you might want to consider finding a role model.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. The people who come before us pave the way for us to move forward. They give us direction and inspiration.
They show us how to act. How to carry ourselves. How to interact with others. And how to live a good life.
They do most of the heavy lifting for us. We just have to follow their lead.
What is the Stoic sage?
Donald Robertson, Stoic author and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist states that the Stoic sage is, “He lives in total harmony with himself, the rest of mankind, and nature as a whole because he follows reason and accepts his fate graciously, insofar as it is beyond his control. He has risen above irrational desires and emotions, to achieve peace of mind. His character is absolutely praiseworthy, honorable and beautiful”
The Stoic sage is the role model of the Stoics.
The sage is someone you choose for yourself. They are someone you look up to. They have character traits that you want to have.
