The strange case of loving yourself less than strangers Marcus Aurelius nailed our biggest hypocrisy … we love ourselves most, yet trust everyone else’s opinions more than our own. Here’s why we do it, and why it’s killing our self-sovereignty.

Why do we crumble at #criticism if we ‘love ourselves’?

#MarcusAurelius nailed it: we outsource our self-worth.

His cure? Crown your own judgment first. Everyone else is just advisory.

Strength is calm under chaos. Not volume. Not ego. Just presence. #ModernStoic

A horizontal sketch-style quote card featuring a pencil drawing of John D. Rockefeller on the right side, wearing a suit and tie with a composed expression. On the left side, the quote reads: “Success comes from keeping the ears open and the mouth closed.” The background is a light textured blue with a soft gradient, and the tag @stoic_sisterhood is placed in the bottom right corner in a clean serif font.

Silence isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Listen more. Speak with purpose.

Finally wrapped up this book (with many notes and highlights added) and I must say I really enjoyed it!

I especially liked the final chapter where it listed out practical ways to practice stoicism and the authors personal anecdotes

How important is finding a “mentor” in your stoicism practice?

Do you think it’s still viable in these times? Who do you look up to or learn from?

#stoicism #philosophy #modernstoic

I stopped explaining myself. I lost friends. I regret nothing.

What’s something you’ve detached from recently?

Each day I learn something new about how to live in virtue to my practice.
No day is perfect, but each day I get at least 1% better.

Stoicism isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s a quiet commitment to better myself as a human being

At times I find myself still reacting to the judgment of others instead of living by my own reason.

Logically I have caught this, I examine it, I don’t react, but the pain is still in my chest.

It’s not wrong, but it IS outdated wiring. And now I’m trying to outgrow it.

New book came in from the Princeton press.
This will be my follow up to meditations and I’ve heard nothing but good things from this translation ✨

I’m practicing Stoicism not as hustle culture, but as a path to calm, clarity, and virtue. If you’re into soft, steady philosophy (esp. as a woman or non toxic masculinity dude), let’s connect.
