Time has a way of softening the sharp edges of our experiences, both the monumental and the mundane.

Whether you're triumphing over a big project or squabbling over the morning coffee, it's worth reminding yourself that these moments are transient.

Today, when you find yourself caught up in the intensity of a situation, ask yourself, "Will this matter in a year, or even in a month?" Chances are, time will sweep away the urgency, leaving space for what truly merits your energy and focus.

Consider then how you spend your days, wrestling with worries and plans, when in reality, the tight grip of today's troubles will ease with time.

Embracing this Stoic perspective, strive to live more in the present, dealing with each moment as it comes with calmness and evenness of temper.

On your commute, or as you tackle your to-do list, remind yourself that the significance of today's events will fade in the grand tapestry of time.

With this mindset, you can free yourself from needless stress and invest in actions and thoughts with lasting impact—the ones that time will honor, not overwhelm.
