🧭 1. Stoic Principles (The Foundation)

This opening section introduces Stoicism as a timeless and practical philosophy for mental resilience:

Eudaimonia: True happiness comes from realizing your potential and living with virtue.

Virtue above all: The key to a good life is not pleasure or comfort, but excellence of character (wisdom, courage, justice, temperance).

Ataraxia: Inner peace and clarity are achieved through emotional mastery.

Dichotomy of control: Focus only on what is under your control (thoughts, decisions); accept the rest with grace.

Amor Fati: Love and embrace fate—including suffering—as part of your path.
