I just came across this and thought it was pretty cool. We need to practice a little stoicism right now.
7 anchors for a #Stoic life:
– Control your response.
– Accept what you cannot change.
– Prepare for loss, but cherish the present.
– Expect less, appreciate more.
– Practice silence often.
– Focus on character, not image.
– Measure success by your peace.
