Agree, Alex. One cannot influence (force) others to do things. You can only influence what YOU do. You can always decide (only) what you will make of things around you. And that‘s indeed something I learned from Marcus Aurelius and the Stoics.
That can be a kind of frustrating learning at the beginning but on the other Hand it is very powerful: You ALWAYS have a choice, what YOU do about things, how YOU perceive certain words said, how YOU think about everything around.
Couldn't have said it better myself! Isn't it amazing that lessons like these have been passed down for thousands of years?
Thanks for your insightful comment.
🤝🏻 That‘s indeed amazing, people have thought about these things milleniums ago, an emperor has written those things down in his Journal which was recovered and is available to us today to Read. Really Crazy kind of.
