Adversity is the Stoic’s gym.
Stoicism isn’t for museums—it’s for streets.
Epictetus Enchiridion 1: Some things are within our power, while others are not.
Share your struggle and halve its weight.
Control your breath, and the world stops shaking you.
Marcus Aurelius Meditations 2.11: You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say.
It’s not the blow that hurts, but your resistance to falling.
Calm isn’t the absence of chaos, but mastery over it.
