You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.’ - Marcus Aurelius. There was a time when I felt overwhelmed by stress and chaos, but by practicing Stoicism, I learned to focus on what I can control-my thoughts and reactions. This shift brought me peace and resilience. Embrace the power of your mind and transform your life.
I can only control myself not the circumstances around me. My staying calm and peaceful in the face of adversity depends on my ability of mastering emotions and thoughts.
May I be granted the calm acceptance of things beyond my control, the bravery to alter those within my power, and the discernment to distinguish between the two.
My beliefs have changed so much in a week, this is my life now. Because of this I grow stronger everyday. I don’t know where my life we be but now I know I’m on the right path.
How can you be positive when you live with someone who changes constantly. One day, happy and one day mad. Very ugly, I can control how I feel, but my partner is like Dr. Jeckyle and Dr. Hyde.
I grant myself these things. Commitment, courage, focus, openness, and respect. Funny. they're "scrum" values.. and that's how I work, everyday. They pay me to do what I love, practicing my "religion". Stoic values.
God I pray that you give me strength. I am too weak lord. I care too much about what people think of me and look down on myself. My depression keeps me hostage. Free me O’ Lord. From the shackles of anxiety and depression. For anyone who reads this I pray the lord smiles down on you and gives the courage to keep on going. This will get better.
I'm inspired by how Stoicism emphasizes self-mastery over external validation. But can this approach sometimes lead to emotional detachment from important social issues? How do we balance personal resilience with empathy for others?
