Day 1 – Stoic Post

by | Oct 8, 2018 | Daily Stoic Post | 0 comments

“Stoicism is a philosophy that focuses on teaching us how to excel in life, how to become better human beings, and how to live a good life.”

Welcome to the Stoic Post.

I feel honored that you are taking a moment to read and hope that you find some applicable knowledge that helps you to become a better human being and to live a good life.

My name is Clint Post. I ask myself, who am I to write about Stoicism in such a public forum? The honest answer is, I am nobody. Truly, I am insignificant in the scope of things. Regardless, I love learning and sharing things that are most meaningful. It is to that end that I created this blog.

That’s me – Clint Post

Becoming a student of Stoicism

As best as I can tell, there is no official rite of passage to become a ‘prokoptôn’ which is Greek for a student of Stoicism. ‘Prokoptôn’ is translated to mean a person who is ‘making progress’ towards becoming an enlightened philosopher, ultimately a Sage or a Stoic wise man.

The purpose of the Stoic Post, therefore, is two fold:

  1. To perform a self-guided initiatory ritual, through study, application, and dissemination of wisdom, resulting in becoming a ‘Prokoptôn.’ This initiatory ritual consists of 180 days of intense study, application, and sharing of wisdom with others in my life, and with everyone in the world through this blog.
  2. To continue making progress as an initiated student, or ‘Prokoptôn’, and to help others, who so desire, to become enlightened philosophers, or lovers of wisdom, and to achieve Eudaimonia, or Happiness/Fulfillment, in every aspect of life.

This is day 1

I commit to making progress every day to become a more virtuous human being.
