Similar to different observers of a beach ball, some say red, blue and white, some say green, yellow and orange, all reporting a similar shape, weight, and other measurable characteristics So,... it should not surprise that these lists of stoic principles are often quite similar; just different views of the understanding of life and the beach ball.
Reflecting on the transient nature of life, recognizing that you are awakening into a living being, is a way to practice gratitude. Journal your thoughts, both opens one to inspiration, but also affords a recall of dreams. Setting intentions and not goals, lessen's the emotional loads of life, allowing a clear path for the moment. Embracing discomfort is the way to self-actualize your life, and find a way to move through and beyond tough times.
