Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’m not much for flowery inspiration, but I do find myself falling back on the Stoics when the world starts to feel particularly loud. I like to post a quote or two a month not because they’re ‘pretty,’ but because they act as a much-needed mental reset. Take Marcus Aurelius: ‘You have power over your mind—not outside events.’ In a time when everything feels like a chaotic outside event, realizing that the only thing I actually own is my reaction isn’t just philosophy it’s a survival strategy.
