Follow these 7 Stoic rules for 6 months and you'll get 10 years ahead in life:
1) Amor Fati
Love your fate.
Nothing happens to you.
Everything happens for you.
Accept what has happened. Embrace it. Move past it.
Make something great out of it. Learn from it. Be better because of it.

Most of what you do is not essential.

Focus on doing only the essential tasks to your best ability.
Eliminate anything you wouldn't do if you were to die tomorrow.

β’ Share your clothes with a homeless person
This is what true greatness is.

Begin your day with a solid routine:
β’ Wake up early
β’ Write down your thoughts
β’ Get the priorities done
Own the day from the start.

7) Take the first step today
No one would be sad, poor, or unhealthy if knowledge was enough.
You need the discipline of action:
β’ Write 1 page today
β’ Do 10 pushups today
β’ Make 20 cold calls today
Make the right decision today. Not tomorrow.

Become a better master of yourself:
β’ Take responsibility
β’ Admit your mistakes
β’ Practice what you preach
β’ Honor your promises to others
Itβs called self-discipline for a reason.
No one else can do it for you.
