“Problems only exist in the human mind.”
Anthony de Mello

In modern life, we often find ourselves creating problems by worrying about things beyond our control. For example, stressing about what others think of us can lead to unnecessary anxiety and self-doubt. Remembering that problems exist in our minds can help us focus on what truly matters and let go of what does not serve us.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:7 ESV

This quote aligns with the Stoic pillar of Wisdom, as it emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature of problems and where they originate. Through the lens of Scripture in Jeremiah 17:7, we are reminded of the wisdom in trusting in God rather than worrying about worldly concerns, which reinforces the Stoic idea that true peace comes from focusing on what is within our control and letting go of what is not.
