Seneca: “We should hunt out the helpful pieces of teaching and the spirited and noble-minded sayings which are capable of immediate practical application…”
Dog’s Take: “Fetch the best sticks and bones that are fun to chew and chase—not old shoes or the mailman’s leg.” 🐾 #stoicism #stoic

Socrates: “No one is wrong on purpose.”

Dog’s Take: “No one is wrong on purpose. Even when I steal a sandwich, it’s not wrong—it’s destiny. Okay, maybe it’s a little wrong… but still.” 🐾 #stoicism #doggystoic #stoic

Seneca: We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Dog's Take: The dog who barks at every shadow wastes its energy and misses the real bones.

Marcus Aurelius: “Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions, not outside.”

Dog’s Take: “Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I shook it off—literally. Turns out, the scary thing was just my reflection in the water bowl.”🐾

Marcus Aurelius: “The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”
Dog’s Take: When the neighbor’s cat hisses, I don’t hiss back. I wag my tail. Confuses them every time.
Simple, stoic, and dog-approved! 🐾

#Seneca: “I pity the person who hasn’t faced adversity; they don’t know what they’re capable of.”
My Take: Adversity is when the treat gets stuck under the couch. But I dig and paw until I succeed. Adversity builds character… and hunger!

Memento Mori – Remember you will die.
Dog’s Take: “Sniff every tree like it’s your last. Because one day… it will be. And that’s okay.” #mementomori #stoicism

Stoic Self-Talk: “Amor fati” – Love of fate.
“Whatever fate throws at me—a leash, a bath, or the vacuum—I wag my tail at it. Except the vacuum. That’s asking too much.”
