See The Humor In It
“It is more civilized to make fun of life than to burst into tears over it.”
—Seneca
Letters From A Stoic
We are often confronted with things that don't quite work out as planned. Your coffee spills, the internet connection drops during an important call or perhaps, traffic makes you late for a meeting.
In these moments, remember Seneca's wisdom. Laugh at the irony, chuckle with the unpredictable, and smile at the mishaps instead of crying over what could've been.
Adopting a jester's approach to life's trials doesn't belittle them, it simply allows you to wield the strength to endure, resilience to persist, and joy to continue onward.
At the end of the day, laughter is the soul's medicine.
