Enchiridion 52 gets into different aspects of Stoic philosophy. Part of it is making use of the teachings. For example do not lie about things because it does not help in the progress of the individual.

Another part of philosophy is showing and demonstrating your beliefs through your actions. There is an aspect of both these parts that combined shows that what is truly important is implementing Stoic philosophy in life. Logic is something with this that can be used.

Applying principles in Stoicism means meeting challenges and obstacles. Focus should be on if we are making progress with Stoic principles. Stoicism is about practice not theory. Choices and actions develop experiences that we can measure our progress with.

We should recognize conflict and adversity as opportunities where we find improvement.
