@lawsofsilence: #PHILOSOPHY The more you desire, the more you convince yourself that you lack. More money. More attention. More success. More recognition. And somehow, the more you get, the more you want. Epictetus reminds us that peace doesn't always come from having more. Sometimes it comes from learning to want less. You don't need everything you desire. You need to master the desire itself. A disciplined mind doesn't chase everything it wants. It knows what is enough. This is one of the Stoic ideas explored in My Stoic Path to Healing: How Stoicism Guided My Journey Through Trauma, Healing, and Growth — a book about Stoicism, healing, and personal growth.
