🏛️ Stoic Quote

Remind yourself that the past and future are ‘indifferent’ to you, and that the supreme good, and eudaimonia, can only exist within you, right now, in the present moment. - Donald J. Robertson

In modern life, understanding that external events are indifferent can help us maintain inner peace. For example, if we didn't get the promotion we hoped for at work, we can remind ourselves that our worth is not solely defined by our career success. This mindset shift can prevent unnecessary worry and allow us to focus on what truly matters within ourselves.

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

The lesson teaches us to find contentment within ourselves rather than external circumstances, echoing the biblical verse's message of being content with what you have. By realizing that true fulfillment comes from within, we can live a more peaceful and purposeful life.
