[Someone on X @Dat55]

If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: The harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance

Stop wasting your time on these 6 things:

1. Worrying about other people’s opinions
2. Judging other people
3. Putting things off to the future
4. Holding onto the past
5. Arguing with reality
6. Thinking you are going to live forever

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

The time that passes, Seneca reminds us, is death. It belongs to death. You’ll never get to live that has been lived again. So why are you rushing? Why are you thinking about the future at the expense of the present? Why aren’t you showing up to the right here and right now?

“Be satisfied with even the smallest progress," Marcus Aurelius said.

"If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own." — Epictetus

[48 Laws Of Power Bot @48_quotes]

Keep in mind the following:

People trying to make a show of their authority are easily deceived by the surrender tactic.

Your outward sign of submission makes them feel important;

satisfied that you respect them, they become easier targets for a later counterattack.

Your first task as a strategist is to widen your concept of the enemy, to include in that group those who are working against you, thwarting you, even in subtle ways.

Trust your instincts: if someone’s behavior seems suspicious, it probably is.

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

What’s in your control:

1. what you do
2. what you say
3. what you think

What isn’t:

“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.
