5 Stoic Lessons on Happiness I Wish I Knew Sooner
<p>I started blogging in 2015, at 28 years old. It was the start of my writing career, and I had just moved back in with my parents in The Netherlands to save money.</p>
<p>Before that, I used to work for an IT research firm in London. I also started various businesses, including a laundry equipment service company with my father, which is still doing well today.</p>
<p>But no matter what career path I chose, it didn’t feel right. My heart wasn’t in those things.</p>
<p>And by 2015, I was really confused about what <a href="https://dariusforoux.com/care-enough/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">direction I wanted to take my life</a>. That’s when I went on an epic learning spree and within two years, I was sure about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.</p>
<p>Stoicism inspired me a lot and taught me many life lessons. Now, I learned all these important things when was 30, but sometimes I think, “What if I knew these things at 20?”</p>
<p>I don’t have a time machine, but by sharing these lessons with you, I hope I can help you to save time.</p>
<p>Here are the 5 things I wish I had known before I turned 30.</p>
