Twenty-five years ago, I was seeking a mentor to guide me through life’s uncertainties. I found him—a grand master of astonishing skills, from martial arts to profound wisdom. As I followed his teachings, I discovered his deep belief in Stoicism, rooted in the teachings of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca. His example inspired me to embrace Stoic principles, transforming my approach to challenges with clarity and calm.

Living Stoic values is a daily process that grounds me. Each morning, I reflect on Seneca’s advice to ‘live each day as if it were your last,’ focusing on the present moment with gratitude. Epictetus’ teaching—‘It’s not things that upset us, but our opinions about them’—helps me stay calm during challenges, reminding me to control my reactions. This daily practice of mindfulness and resilience brings clarity and peace to my life.
I created The Stoa to deepen my focus on Stoic values and live them more fully in my daily life. By sharing stories and reflections inspired by Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, I aim to embody these principles while helping others discover their own path to clarity and resilience. Living Stoically is a daily process, and I hope The Stoa inspires you to make it a part of your life too.
