$UP Stoicism, an ancient Greek and Roman philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium, teaches that true happiness is achieved by focusing entirely on what is within our direct control. Stoic thinkers emphasize that while we cannot control external events, macroeconomic shifts, or the actions of other people, we have absolute control over our own thoughts, judgments, and responses. By accepting reality as it unfolds without emotional resistance, a practitioner develops an unshakeable inner peace, transforming adversity into an opportunity to practice virtue and patience.
