Sup Fool.
Ever find yourself pissed off for no reason?
You just wake up angry, and you know its out of place but it lingers the entire day. #Lingerer
Well, for this, I’ve started studying stoicism. I know, at this point it’s trendy. A LOT of people claim to be philosopher kings, but I’m just trying to keep level.
From my 3 days of extensive research (back of the book summary) – it looks like the key concept surrounds your circle of control. You have to know whats in your control and everything outside of it.
It sounds simple, but it’s easier said than done.
The only thing on your to-do list: Your MIND.
That’s the only thing you’re responsible for- disciplining how you approach the world, see things, and what you choose to focus on.
Everything else, let that shit go.
All of our anxiety comes from us over-thinking the future, which we do because we think we have more control than we do.
As the antidote to anger, anxiety, and an overall seriousness towards life, stoicism gives you a flexibility and playfulness that you need to endure hardships and still have a good time.
So, I’m letting go….. of shit that doesn’t matter.
