Again your words are full of wisdom. Love it! Yes if we don't accept pain or discomfort in life we end up in resistance and that takes more energy than acceptance! Also people can get into idle complaint mode, which I learned in my Positive Psychology program, is an infantile psychology that involves waiting for someone else to fix the problem. We instead should consider our challenges and things we don't like with creative discontent, an action toward a solution. Staying calm is the best way to think clearly and find a solution.

I live with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and every moment of my life, I feel like I am wearing an ascot made of hornet stings. I find Stoic Wisdom to be as ameliorative as my strong medication. This post reverberated through me like a cherry bomb in a cymbal factory. Thank you!

Everytime my habit of overthinking kicks in I read your words as always they calm me and are full of wisdom . Truly I don't know why but I do the same thing I keep thinking about things of past or what I can't change like time has been standing still yet life goes on . So we should learn to flow with the flow of time...

Sleep-deprived philosophy is the most honest kind.

Maybe resilience looks less like “heroic strength” and more like not inventing extra suffering in your head at 3:30 am?

📌 Often, endurance is just refusing to catastrophize.
