Today’s Stoic
“Nothing befalls anything which it is not by nature made to bear.”
What it means today
What comes to you comes to the kind of being you are — one who can, in fact, bear it. The capacity to endure is built into what you are, not borrowed from outside.
Try this todayWhen something heavy arrives, remind yourself you are, by nature, able to bear it, and then bear it.
Today’s questionWhat am I telling myself I cannot bear, that I actually can?
