178 - If It's Endurable, Then Endure It

Published: March 15, 2021, 7 a.m.

b'\\u201cEverything that happens is either endurable or not. If it\\u2019s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it\\u2019s unendurable\\u2026 then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so.\\u201d\\n\\n\\u2014 Marcus Aurelius\\n\\nHow often do we complain about the things that we don\\u2019t like about in life? There are so many things to complain about in life. Even at this moment, there are so many things to complain about. The Pandemic. The government. Politics. Our relationships with others. Money. Even the weather. We can all find things to complain about. \\n\\nComplaining about something wishes things to be other than they are. It is trying to get the universe to change for us. The universe doesn\\u2019t care about our complaints. If you are able, do something about it. If you are cannot, accept it, let it go, and move on. To continue complaining is a waste of time and energy.\\n\\nListen to more episodes at: https://stoic.coffee'
