🏛️ Stoic Quote

In any situation in life, you only have three options. You always have three options. You can change it, you can accept it, or you can leave it. What is not a good option is to sit around wishing you would change it but not changing it, wishing you would leave it but not leaving it, and not accepting it. It's that struggle, that aversion, that is responsible for most of our misery. The phrase that I probably use the most to myself in my head is just one word: accept. - Naval Ravikant

In modern life, if you're unhappy in a job but choose to stay and complain rather than actively seeking new opportunities or accepting the situation, you're causing unnecessary suffering. Take action to change what you can, accept what you can't, and let go of the rest to find peace of mind.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

The Bible verse encourages a transformation of mindset to discern what is good and acceptable. This aligns with the lesson's emphasis on taking action to change one's circumstances and finding peace by accepting what cannot be changed.
