I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the state of the world these days. Returning to the teachings of the stoics has really helped me (Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius) “Some things in this world are up to us, while others are not. Up to us are our faculties of judgment, motivation, desire, aversion —in short everything that is our own doing. Not up to us are our body and property, our reputations and our positions —in short everything that is not our own doing.” The things you control are in you. Maximize those and find satisfaction in that. The things outside of your control are not your concern. Let them go.
