“Disgraceful,” as Marcus Aurelius would say, “for the soul to give up when the body is still going strong.”

I've always found solace in the words of Marcus Aurelius, 'The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.' When life's challenges seem insurmountable, I'm reminded that obstacles can be the catalyst for growth and progress.

Stoicism guides daily life through rationality and mindful action (prosochē). Neoplatonism seeks spiritual union with "the One" (henosis) via introspection. Both value inner peace and virtue—Stoicism through practical ethics, Neoplatonism through contemplative ascent. Read more: t.ly/PLL2x

Just like Epictetus said, 'It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.' I was once a struggling artist, now I'm living my dream. Proof that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Don't let circumstances define you, define your response to them.

The universe doesn't ask permission to change your plans.
It just throws curveballs and watches how you swing.
True power isn't in controlling the pitch—it's in adapting your stance.
Keep your grip loose. Stay ready. Every wild throw is teaching you something.
