We’ve all seen the news

We’ve all seen the news.

I’ve collected some thoughts that may help.

“The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.” – Seneca

Fear comes from anticipation of what is to come; we’re not afraid of the past or present.

We aren’t sure of what is to come. But we acquaint ourselves with the possibilities, so that our thoughts can be our own, not dictated by another man.

“You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” – Epicurus

Like a muscle that grows from the trials of exercise, so too our courage grows from the trials of the coming days.

Many people need your courage but don’t know how to nurture it in trials. Many people need you to be courageous for them.

“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.” – Seneca

Putin is behaving like fomo-riddled paper-hands; poor because of his need for something else.

Diamond-hand your mind, your reason, and your temperance.

Let’s support each other through such Winters.

And remember: without fail, Spring follows.
