A Stoic however is more focused on their own attitude to life and freely choosing it. In the end the only freedom we have is the attitude to what we do and think so we need to be aware of the decisions we make and why we make them to live a life in harmony with nature. Otherwise we are essentially living someone else's life. And that leads to profound unhappiness and unfulfillment.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. ~ Marcus Aurelius
