Adversity is the Stoic’s gym.
Epictetus Enchiridion 1: Some things are within our power, while others are not.
Calm isn’t the absence of chaos, but mastery over it.
Share your struggle and halve its weight.
Knowledge without action is a ship without oars.
Control your breath, and the world stops shaking you.
It’s not the blow that hurts, but your resistance to falling.
