Four things you should avoid at all cost. 1. Keep your mind off things that haven't happened yet. It's pointless to worry too much, as Seneca says. 2. Refrain from assuming you know everything. Let's move on. It is not necessary for us to judge everything we see and hear or to hold an opinion on everything. 3. Don't moan. According to Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, "Don't be heard complaining, not even to yourself." You won't have as many reasons to complain about if you just accept things as they are. 4. Avoid being overly preoccupied. Focus on what you can control and take things one step at a time to reach your objectives. #stoicism #philosophy #personalgrowth #motivation #selfimprovement #stoicwisdom #mindfulness #resilience #personaldevelopment #stoic
