Stoicism for Inner Peace

“Never say of anything, ‘I have lost it.’ but, ‘I have returned it.’”

And, regardless of what the future brings, no one takes away our power to make the best of it.

Anxiety isn’t caused by the environment. It’s caused by the position we take towards the environment.

The Stoic you, however, has a different approach. It fully embraces fate no matter what

When things can’t go wrong, there’s nothing to worry about. When there’s nothing to worry about, the fear of the future won’t sap our energy and make us feel miserable. By unconditionally embracing our destiny, we have nothing to fear.

He tells us that a calm mind is not achieved by trying to alter and control our surroundings: it’s achieved by the way we think.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die: it’s a waste of time.

When we embrace whatever happens, what could go wrong? Nothing.

As Jean-Paul Sartre once stated: “If you are lonely when you are alone, you are in bad company.”
