FIND CALM IN CHAOS

We all know that life can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and, sometimes, it feels like we're stuck on the loop-de-loops with no end in sight. It's easy to let our emotions run wild in the middle of chaos and heated situations. Enter stoicism, an ancient philosophy that can serve as a guide to maintaining our cool in the storm of life.

Stoicism originated in ancient Greece and was later popularised by the likes of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. It's not just a dusty old philosophy; it's a classic approach to driving through the turbulent seas of life with a calm and composed demeanour.
