Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

Stoic Conversations 24
"So it's official. I'm not going to practice Buddhism anymore. I'm now practicing Stoicism."
"Was there any paperwork?"
"No, but I'm going to change the stuff on my desk to keep me inspired."
"I didn't even know you'd been a Buddhist."
"Oh yeah, almost a whole year now."
"Why can't you learn something from both of them? They don't have to exclude one another."
"No, Buddhism was just getting me down. I need to stay focused."
"Yes, it must have been the Buddhism that was getting you down. Good luck with the Stoicism."
