This is the best way to get through tough times. Throughout your life, you will have to face very painful situations. You might think, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ If that’s the case, I suggest looking at it from a different perspective: I have control over what is happening to me. If the answer is ‘Yes,’ then strive to change it. If the answer is ‘No,’ why suffer for something that is beyond your control? Or as Marcus Aurelius said, ‘If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.’
