Today’s Stoic
“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”
What it means today
Most of the pain we carry is borrowed from a future that has not arrived. The catastrophe we rehearse rarely happens, and when trouble comes we usually handle it better than we feared.
Try this todayWhen worry spirals, ask: "Is this happening right now, or am I imagining a later version of it?"
Today’s questionHow much of what I fear is actually in front of me at this moment?
