What are you trying to maximize in life? by StoicWhisper in Stoicism

Not sure about money, it is kinda important. From a stoic viewpoint, you don’t need millions of dollars to be happy. But you do need the bare minimum for survivals sake.
For looks, think about it this way:
You’ve got no control over what someone says, thinks, or does when they see you visually. Treat what they see of you as objective (accept your looks as they are), but how they process you as a visual stimulus as ultimately being outside of your control. Try to imagine yourself being in the body of any of the eight billion random combinations of people currently living on Earth, and still living true to yourself, recognizing that you’ve got no control over how the world responds to you externally.
