Word for 2025 - Stoic
Resilience: Showing a strong ability to endure hardship without complaint, focusing on what I can control and accepting what I cannot.
Modesty and simplicity: Is where I fall sort of the stoic principals. I haven't embraced simplicity, focusing on the excessive. You can't win 'em all 😂 Champagne and tea!
Virtues: You view moral and ethical virtues like wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance as the highest goods. However, another of my shortcoming is my love of external achievements and possessions.
The principles of Stoicism
Detachment: I try hard to detach myself from external outcomes, focusing instead on personal integrity and inner peace.
However, in summery the common usage, "stoic" might just mean someone who keeps their emotions hidden, showing little outward reaction to situations. Stoicism isn't about suppressing emotions but rather about understanding and managing them in a way that aligns with reason and virtue. My strength of character, my resilience, or my ability to maintain my composure is what I strive for.
