Discover The 33 Laws of Stoic Discipline: Your Keys To (Literal) God-Like Self-Discipline Have you ever felt like you know exactly what you should be doing to achieve your goals... but you just can't seem to find the discipline to actually do it? The ancient Stoics tell us this happens because human beings are half god, half animal… We have a divine element: the part of us endowed with reason, which we share with the gods. This part of us is capable of rational forethought—and thus delayed gratification and self-discipline. And we have an animal element: the part of us that's moved by instinct, impulse, and emotion—which we share with the animals. This is the part of us that succumbs to instant gratification and indiscipline. To be self-disciplined, the Stoics tell us, means to make the god within—not the animal within—the master of our choices. It means living in accordance with our highest nature, not our lowest impulses. To accomplish this, the ancient Stoics developed an arsenal of powerful psychological techniques for ensuring the rational part of our nature stays firmly in control.
