Afirmaciones estoicas

Afirmaciones estoicas de fortaleza y resiliencia, con las palabras de los estoicos

Los estoicos no escribieron afirmaciones de fortaleza, pero describieron en qué consiste: para Marco Aurelio la mente convierte cada impedimento en una ayuda y se mantiene como un promontorio contra el que rompen las olas. Séneca añade que la fortaleza se adquiere con el uso, como la del cuerpo, y que el dolor es leve si la opinión no le añade nada.

Marco Aurelio · Meditations, V, 20

Now it is true that these may impede my action, but they are no impediments to my affects and disposition, which have the power of acting conditionally and changing: for the mind converts and changes every hindrance to its activity into an aid; and so that which is a hindrance is made a furtherance to an act; and that which is an obstacle on the road helps us on this road.

George Long, 1862 · Meditations, V, 20

Marco Aurelio · Meditations, IV, 49

Be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.

George Long, 1862 · Meditations, IV, 49

Séneca · On Providence, IV

The strongest part of the body is that which is exercised by the most frequent use: we must entrust ourselves to fortune to be hardened by her against herself: by degrees she will make us a match for herself.

Aubrey Stewart, 1889 · On Providence, IV

Séneca · Letter 78, §13

Pain is slight if opinion has added nothing to it; but if, on the other hand, you begin to encourage yourself and say, “It is nothing,—a trifling matter at most; keep a stout heart and it will soon cease”; then in thinking it slight, you will make it slight.

Richard Mott Gummere, 1917–1925 · Letter 78, §13
