You Can Handle Anything

August 18th

“Nothing happens to anybody which they are not fitted by nature to bear.”

—Marcus Aurelius

Meditations

Nature has inherently equipped us with the strength to endure whatever comes our way.

Consider the challenges you face in your everyday life—tight deadlines, difficult relationships, or unexpected setbacks. These obstacles might seem overwhelming at times, but Marcus suggests that within you lies a resilience that’s tailor-made to withstand these pressures. Do you recognize the inner resources you have at your disposal when things get tough?

It's easy to feel discouraged when we're confronted with adversity, but the Stoic wisdom here is a reminder to trust in our own capacities.

Every struggle is an opportunity to put this notion to the test. The next time life throws a curveball, pause and ask yourself: What qualities do I possess that are specifically suited to handle this? Is it your patience, determination, creativity, or maybe a combination of these?

By acknowledging and harnessing your innate abilities, you can transform life's hurdles into stepping stones towards growth and wisdom.
