In a 10-year study @McKinsey & Company found that a single factor can increase your productivity by 500%:

Being in flow.

Research confirms any activity can trigger a flow state if it meets three conditions: When we’re in this state, our actions, choices, & decisions flow seamlessly one after the other.

We become so immersed in what we’re doing time distorts and everything else just fades away.

We become immune to distraction.

As a school of philosophy, Stoicism is based on four fundamental Cardinal Virtues:

- Wisdom
- Temperance
- Justice
- Courage

Marcus Aurelius believed these virtues are essential to living a happy, fulfilling, morally correct & balanced life.

Let’s explore the fundamentals👇🏼🧵 Cardinal Virtue #1: Wisdom

"The chief task in life is simply this:

to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control."

— Epictetus

According to the Stoics, wisdom is about making decisions based on knowledge about how you can influence the things around you.

Stoics believe that, first of all, you must differentiate between things under your control and those that are not.

Wisdom is an instrument to divide life into three parts: good, bad, and indifferent:

1. Good involves actions based on virtues. They saw virtue as the only true good, with everything else being indifferent or bad.

2. Bad is anything non-virtuous, like lying to avoid responsibility, being lazy or greedy, and ignoring justice for personal gain.

3. Indifferent covers things like money, possessions,
and fame. These aren't inherently good or bad but can be used either way.

True Stoic wisdom is to feel indifferent about things you can't control and to focus your efforts on the things you have influence over.
