“We suffer not from the events in our lives, but from our judgements about them”
– Epictetus
How is it possible that someone who’s lost limbs can be happier than someone who has both hands? How can someone who’s poor be happier than someone who’s rich AF?
It’s because life depends not on what happens to us, but how we perceive what happens to us. If you choose to focus on “what did I learn from this”, you will realize that everything we go through teaches us to manage something else in the future.
Remember, it’s all in the mind.
