Control Your Mind, Not Events (duplicated)

“Marcus Aurelius said: You have power over your mind — not outside events. He wrote this while

running an empire… and dealing with everything falling apart around him. And yet,

he reminded himself daily: Your suffering isn’t from the world — it’s from the story

you tell yourself about the world. The mind panics. The mind exaggerates. The mind invents

fears that reality never confirms. Stop asking ‘What if this goes wrong?’ Start asking:

‘What can I control right now?’ That single question brings you back to yourself.” Think

better daily.
