Today’s Stoic
“Don’t demand that things happen as you wish, but wish that they happen as they do.”
What it means today
This is not resignation; it is alignment. When you fight reality, reality wins and you lose your peace. When you wish for what is, you keep your judgment clear enough to act well inside it.
