HOW TO BECOME A STOIC

How does one become a stoic and why become a stoic?

The first thought is try to position yourself in such a way that you interpret everything as having a hidden benefit for yourself. That life is all upside, not downside.

Second, start hypelifting. The best way to become more invincible is through lifting very very heavy weights.

Third, don’t give shit, but also don’t take shit. If you believe that somebody is giving you shit, call it out loud.

Fourth, think insanely long-term. Even with minor setbacks in life, think to yourself, in the long run, in a decade or two or three, how can this event have helped me in the long run?
