It's liberating to realize that nobody is thinking about you. They're too busy worrying about what you think of them. Don't live your life with some hypothetical critic in mind, just live your life.

“Be satisfied with even the smallest progress," Marcus Aurelius said. You’re never going to be perfect—there is no such thing. You’re human. So instead, aim for progress, even the smallest amount.

The less energy we waste regretting the past or worrying about the future, the more energy we will have for what’s in front of us.

The Stoics knew that everything that happens to us, good or bad, is an opportunity. An opportunity to practice kindness, an opportunity to practice patience, an opportunity to practice resilience.

Not a lot of people understand this... but you actually don’t have to have an opinion about everything. You don’t have to decide if something is good or bad. Marcus Aurelius says limiting the amount of opinions we have is one of the most powerful things we can do in life.
