You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
~Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Roman emperor, Stoic philosopher, 121-180 AD
The Stoics had it all figured out.
And all the sages through the ages.
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
~John 1:5
Their teachings are millennia old, and yet the vast majority of people have never implemented it, even today.
While our technology is accelerating, our human operating systems take a lot longer to evolve, creating a tension everywhere to be seen and felt.
Today, Stoicism is making a resurgence. 246,000 people per month search the term 'Stoicism', and 550,000 people per month search the term 'positive quotes'.
This is good news, for we certainly need more equanimity and positivity in these tumultuous times.
It’s not what happens but the meaning we give to whatever happens that makes all the difference in our experience of the day… each day.
Let’s remember that we have power over our minds and can bring the light of good cheer to this day, come what may.
For it is in adversity that our character is tested. It is in the struggle that we decide who it is we are to be.
The day is the way to create the life you want to live.
