“Stoic came about from a number of simple words  I use for myself, to keep it centered, motivated and positive. At home, there are words written in all the mirrors, in my journals and the screensaver on my phone. 

Staying focused and being disciplined are a lifelong journey. I need all the books, all the alarms, all the notifications to keep me on track. It’s valuable to have small reminders everywhere everyday. 

Keeping your eye on the prize is really to not forget what’s most important: your values, staying steady and true when facing difficult situations, difficult people, and long term goals. And not to sweat the small stuff! 

I love the idea of having an internal locus of control. Of being responsible for my results and my own state of mind. This is why stoicism, as well as buddhism are attractive philosophies to me. 

Sharing my mantras with other means we are not alone in trying to be better.

I wanted to share my way of staying inspired with you, in simple items that move with you and don’t get in the way.

In a crazy world, this reminds me of what I will believe in: me.
