This was exactly what I needed today. The reminder that “every disaster that hovers upon us means we return to ourselves” hit like a quiet gong in the chest. It’s easy to forget how much strength we’ve already proven we carry. Thank you for anchoring this moment in something deeper than fear. The words of Marcus feel less like ancient philosophy and more like timely medicine.

These posts are so helpful to me. I have found as I get older I don't worry half as much as I once did but I worry about things that are far more important and valuable to me as a human. Fear once paralyzed me and kept me unhappy and stuck for many years. I no longer allow fear to run my life but must admit this last 6 months concerns me greatly. I needed this reminder. Thank you.

These stoic pearls of wisdom always hit with such clarity that is almost absurd. And yet as a flawed human, I practise them so poorly, which is even more absurd.

Great piece🤝🏽

Sometimes I wish I knew the things I know now and also understand things better , early enough .

Wasting time on worries despite vivid experiences.

Seeing challenges as normal rather than paying attention to the lessons.

Negative emotions, also a thing

Like , Dang it ! I wish 🥲
