A show where an aspiring Stoic discusses how Stoicism as a philosophy can apply to the average Queer person's life, how to improve our lives by dissecting the lessons set forth by the philosophy's founders, and modify those lessons for the modern Queer. Join me on this adventure of self-discovery and knowledge as we all learn to accept what we can control and relinquish that which we can't and live better more fulfilling lives.

The Stoicism Workbook Chapter 2: The Paradox of Control
Welcome back to The Queer Stoic Podcast and to Episode 7 and Chapter 2 of The Stoicism Workbook! This week we will be focusing on Control and the lack of it that we actually have in our lives as opposed to how much we think we have. As a fellow control freak, this has been a difficult concept for me to grasp and to learn to let go of the illusion of control that I have over certain events or influence in general over those events. In the end control is just another way to worry, and worry is a slippery slope to fall down. I want you to keep this phrase in mind as you listen, Amor Fati. I will explain this in depth later, the basic translation is Love your fate.
