Marcus Aurelius was one of the most extraordinary emperors of the Roman Empire. Epictetus lived as an enslaved person for 30 years but later greatly influenced Aurelius. Seneca served as the emperor's teacher, playwright, and political commentator, and Cleantes was also a boxer and water giver. Christos was a long-distance runner, Posidonius was a diplomat, and Musonius Lupus was a teacher.
Stoic philosophers worked in a variety of professions across different walks of life. Nonetheless, the fact that they all followed this philosophy means that Stoic philosophy is universal and applicable to any life.
Stoic philosophy contains timeless wisdom.

Start for now. The rest follows.
Choice determines fate.
The past is only the past.
