To study a way of being like this one may be a good decision, but only you can decide.

It is a way that is tried and true, given the work involved it may be no simple task.

From my experience, being grounded with purpose is one angle but there are many benefits to putting these principles into practice.

A philosophical approach to good living may be an understatement…

I Am A Citizen Of The Universe

Does this make me have ‘concern’ for all?

Some may think I am a moral philosopher.

What is the rational aspect?

A circle is reason enough to pierce new knowledge of the self. Even when the self seems so far away from the outer reaches of what appears to be an infinite place.

Perhaps, intuitive insight will favour communication with others? Will it bring us of closer concern for the vegetable and mineral?

Tell me your experience with the sun.

An empiricist may think it the center of this solar system?

Is it a leap to consider this reason to think about logos?

What is the nature of sun’s? Some are doubled in a single solar system.

Are sun’s analogous to belief? Are our god like ways fashioned here in some way?

Here I only open up a discussion for the benefits of being a citizen of the universe.

To really experience the truth, practice this truism and see what befalls and or supports our grand citizenship and travel this mighty universe with me!

Checking Out a Philosophy App

Stoic philosophy is more about doing than knowing or learning how to, but practice is all about doing to learn good habits.

The stoically inclined can benefit from meditation, journaling and getting to know and stretch yourself by doing a good practice.

The goal is to change by picking up good habits and letting go of bad habits through hard work in your practice. Do no harm to yourself or others will always be foremost in your mind.

Most of the things you choose to practice will start by eliminating desires you want and focus on doing your practice and things you will do because the hard work you do will produce the outcome: inner peace, better focus, a good habit and more compassion for yourself and others.

In a sense, it prepares you to become content and in a better state of mind.

You will gain a good life with out feeling the need to say or do anything that will add to your suffering or others.

It just may prevent any poverty you may have in you life today.

You may enjoy your practice and encourage others to do the same.

Holding on to life, when life throws me a curve ball.

The threat of cancer or any health problem can derail the most stoic individual.

But living in a 1st world country has numerous advantages like universal healthcare, good utilities, excellent labor practices and excellent information services like library systems.

A lasting and robust belief system can aid even globally conscious individuals.

Consider the most basic truth and make it your friend, seek out the good life to support you in any emerging problem, it will not disappoint.
