Through training and practice and repetition, a boxer becomes one with their weapon. And through training and practice and repetition—reading, writing in a journal, listening to Stoics in conversation—we become one with this philosophy.

Zeno was a prosperous merchant...who lost it all. Seneca was exiled...then brought back as the emperor's advisor. Marcus Aurelius was selected for the throne...but had to wait 23 years. A Stoic accepts good things without arrogance, shrugs off misfortune with indifference.
