"لديك قوة على عقلك وليس على الأحداث الخارجية"
— Marcus Aurelius
Simplified Meaning:
You control your thoughts and feelings, even though you can’t control what happens around you. Think about a time when it's raining outside. You can’t stop the rain, but you can choose whether to feel frustrated, sad, or simply accept it and find something enjoyable to do indoors. Similarly, imagine you’re stuck in traffic; you can’t change the traffic, but you can decide whether to get angry or listen to your favorite music and stay calm. Focusing on how you respond to situations can help you stay positive and keep a good attitude, no matter what challenges come your way. It's important to remember that while you can't always change what happens, you can always choose how you react. This mindset can make life’s difficulties easier to handle and help you maintain peace of mind. By working on how you think about things, you can better deal with stress and make the best out of any situation.
