Stoicism: A Mindset And Philosophy For A Strong Life

  1. Do you allow your emotions to get the best of you? 
  2. In high stress situations how do you react? 
  3. Do you find yourself getting caught up in worrying about things outside of your control?

Trust me, I’ve been in some deep dark places within my own mind where I allowed self-doubt to creep into my head and send me into a low depression. Today I want to tell you how I beat that Doubt Monster and how you can prevent it from ever paying you a visit.
