Reasoned Choice is your power to think logically and choose wisely – no matter what.

Prudence means ruling yourself with reason, not impulse or craving.

If you’re unable to reason, you lack Free Will.

Guard your sobriety like your life to maintain a clear mind and Freedom of Will.

Don’t let yourself be dazed by the speed of the impact of a thought.

Correct your judgments, impressions, and opinions because they affect your choices. Your impressions are your initial opinions about things. Reason to correct them.

Separate what is internal and in your power (Sphere of Choice) from what is external and outside your power. The things you can change are in your power and the things you cannot change are outside your power.

The things that are your own and within your power are your morals and every action that depends on them, your motivation, desire, aversion, and your opinions and ability to use them wisely. Your body and anything you possess that is external to your mind is not in your power and thus not your own.

What you are addicted to and what leads to that addiction are bad. Besides those things, the only things you should consider good or bad are things that are in your power. Anything else is neither good nor bad and you should be indifferent to it.

Good things inspire us with pride. Virtues are good, and vices are bad.

Stability is an important standard in life.

You can’t control what happens to you in life, but you can always control how you feel and what you do about it.

Have no desire for things outside your Sphere of Choice. Freedom is not gained by satisfying desires, it’s gained by suppressing them.

Instead of trying to attain things outside of your power, change what you desire and avoid to things that are in your power.

Dissociate from external things but appreciate them in a healthy way.

Prepare yourself for events so you are not crushed when they happen. It’s not what you endure that matters, it’s how you endure it.

Your mind must convert every hindrance into an activity to aid you. No matter what happens to you, you can derive benefit from it.

Don’t pursue pleasure and avoid pain. Push away from things that give you pleasure. Lean into things you’re afraid of.

Seeking pleasure for the purpose of pleasure is a vice. Have more pleasure from refraining from pleasure than pleasure itself.

Replace your bad habits with the opposite actions.

Ignore when others do you some wrong. While you can’t change the things that are external to you, neither can external things change what is internal to you.
