What is stoicism?

According to Ryan Holiday of the Daily Stoic, Stoicism is ‘a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom: something one uses to live a great life, rather than some esoteric field of academic inquiry’. Personally, I find it to be the key to introspection on the deepest levels. During troubling times in my life, I would often look to Stoic principles to provide guidance. Here are 15 stoic quotes on failure that changed my perspective on failure.

Everybody dreams of perfection at some point in their life. Whether it’s at their hobby, job or relationship. However, this desire to be perfect holds us back in so many different ways. In this blog post, I’ll be using the story of my weight loss journey to show 5 reasons why you need to chase progress, not perfection.

So here on this blog, I’m all about changing our perspective on failure. According to the Oxford Learner’s dictionary, failure is defined as the ‘lack of success in doing something or achieving something’. Now, I don’t believe that to be true at all but I wanted to hear your thoughts. I was curious to see what words people generally associated with failure. So, I consulted Reddit and its 48 million monthly readers. I asked one simple question. What does failure mean to you? In this post, I’ll not only be discussing the top results, but I will also be challenging them. I’m hoping that by the end of this, you’ll realise that failure isn’t such a bad thing after all.
