How to face problems like a stoic

Have you ever wondered what life would look like without problems?

So let me save you some time and tell you that life without problems will be BORING.

Imagine that you do what you want and things will just go the way they should go, if you want to build a building you would suddenly have the blueprint in mind and all of the skills to do it, nothing would cost you and you will do it in a matter of seconds somehow, where is the challenge???

You see, modern life makes things easy, too easy that we think that whenever something goes wrong, we need to fix it with pills or cigarettes instead of making ourselves stronger so we can deal with it better the next time.

Do you think performing in front of 4 judges is scary? in ancient times if you didn't perform well they would cut your tongue, stick it in a bath of melted silver, and put it as a work of art, the 4 judges look less scary now right?

So how can we learn to become stronger and deal with our problems instead of letting them control us? We need to come back in time

In ancient Greece, a person named Epictetus who was a philosopher compared human to a boxer, when a boxer gets knocked down does he just walks out of the ring? Of course not! he stands back up and keeps fighting, not only that, the only way a boxer can take more hits before falling is to take more hits, that's what forging him And that's what we should do, whenever a challenge arise to you whether it's physical or mental the best thing to do is to shout at it: BRING IT ON!!! force yourself to deal with those heats to become stronger.
