The Weekly Compendium
A collection of my good posts.
When a man perceives his woman not merely as an object of leisure, but more so, as a charge of significant responsibility, it is then that he is better prepared to embrace his authority fully. He is ready to ascend the throne and accept his role. Cease to be a boy. Seize his destiny. And with deliberate intent, he’s more encouraged, probably out of fear of shame that he may not be a good commander and provider, to engage in outstanding acts of bravery, designed to assure lasting prosperity for his lineage. In return, the consolation that brings him slight relief from his trials is found within the bounds of love, respect, and appreciation meted out unto him by those under his rule.
A wise man should never be surprised by a sudden twist of fate; it’s in his character to make it his due to make adequate preparations for all the bad he thinks might happen when he sets out toward a goal. However, sometimes the perplexing element regarding impediments is their unforeseen nature, even though one might have done their best to account for contingencies.
Accordingly, it behooves one to maintain constant vigilance—while careful it doesn’t develop into paranoia, for such a state embitters the sweet nectar of existence—primed for anything to happen, and in the cauldron of chaos, seeking comprehension that aligns with the fundamental principles of rationale and reality. One also ought to create corrective measures for the errors of quick, reflexive conclusions we sporadically make, often skewed toward a bias and partially cooked beliefs.
A positive attitude is thus the fruit of an effort to reconfigure these evaluations, aligning them delicately according to the pursuit of what’s best: carrying out one's duty in tandem with what’s good for oneself and the whole of nature and honing one’s rational powers by embodying the essence of the four virtues in thoughts and actions.
Suitable maxims the Stoics would use and might prove beneficial to you in trying circumstances would go like this:
- Delve profoundly into the chasm of your fears and sufferings. Document these trials if you are able. Such an action furnishes an elevated perspective, enabling judicious decision-making, without the influence of unruly emotions or a misguided ego.
- Discern the boundary between what lies within your dominion and what doesn’t, empowering yourself to exert effort upon aspects that promise impact, as complaining won’t bring another soul or divine power to shoulder your burdens.
- Keep an open mind, converting all your experiences into raw material, molding you into the formidable force you were destined to be. Bear in thought that not every man bears the strength to withstand adversity without uttering grievances or succumbing to despondency.
- Remember that the sands of time are ever-shifting, healing your pain. Carry yourself with dignity, allowing future reflections of your steadfastness to fill you with pride.
- Cultivate a belief that everything universally leans towards positivity. So, forge ahead with firm objectives seeking to extract the utmost advantage from every problem.
- Be in command of your time. Consider your strategies carefully - what advances your cause?
- Embrace and understand your negative feelings by noting them down on paper, thus lightening the psychic load and letting the mind voyage on lighter waves. The earlier this practice is initiated, the more productive you’ll be on your new journey.
- Maintain your lofty standards and fortitude in the face of distress. You have weathered worse storms; recognize your own strength, for you’re mightier than you concede.
Time passes fast, today will become a few months ago, so there’s no need to be impatient, cowardly, or fearful of the hard work of being strategic. It’s wise to take this moment, this task — with courage, promptness, and excellence for everything will come to pay off down the line.
Reframing problems into exciting challenges doesn’t diminish the intensity of life’s assault; it aids in comprehending one's own active rebellion against these challenges. The power of choice stands by your side, enabling you to step into the role of a resolute, lofty thinker, a machine of rationality, and a tactician directing chess pieces toward the vales of favorable outcomes. In this light, adversity becomes a positive proponent, transforming stress into fuel that powers the engine of the rocket toward your destiny. A glorious destiny.
Determining what holds substantial value on a grand strategic canvas is indeed a complex endeavor. However, casting one's thoughts into extended time horizons bestows upon one a robust emotional fortitude, which grounds the wise realization of the transitory nature of unpleasant occurrences and thus emboldens a spirited confidence, however bad and intense the trouble may be. This perspective focuses not solely on the experience of these hardships, which would evoke complaints, but rather on the wisdom they can afford, instrumental in shaping subsequent endeavors.
