Hi Meredith! Yes, patience and endurance definitely improve when you set your mind to them and make them habitual. Practicing them in the context of Stoicism only makes it more rewarding and satisfying! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jim! Thanks! Agreed. And it’s up to use to cultivate that patience, endurance, as well as tolerance. When you can name what you’re doing and why, I think it becomes easier to form habits and patterns of thought to support these traits.
This also aligns with the Stoic effort to become more aware of how we are thinking and acting, and questioning our impressions to ensure we are moving towards virtue.
As a teacher, I was taught that if you want children to be able to regulate their emotions, you have to be the one modelling that in confrontations, especially for children that don't get that regulation modelled at home. So yes bear and forbear.

Thanks, SB! Very true. I really admire teachers who can bring that approach into the classroom.
It helps when your teachers are well-paid and well-resourced.😁
I agree completely! 💯
