Stoicism (attitude)

Accepting disappointments and embracing new opportunities after faithfully performing your duty can lead to greater blessings. 48:6.36 149:5.3

A certain amount of both stoicism and optimism are serviceable in living a life on earth, but the peace of Jesus is the ultimate comfort and confidence in achieving the Father's will. 181:1.8

Stoicism falls short of true human self-realization, requiring dynamic and progressive attitudes to fully embrace universe reality. 12:5.10
