The Art of Worrying Less - 5 Stoic Rules for Life #shorts

1. Focus on what you can control.
We should not waste time and energy on things that are beyond our control, such as the weather, other people's opinions, or external events.

2. Accept the world as it is without judgment or resistance, and find peace in it.

3. Live with virtue.
Virtue means acting in accordance with reason and morality, and it includes traits such as wisdom, courage, justice, and self-control.

4. Cultivate gratitude.
We should appreciate the present moment and find joy in the simple things in life.

5. Memento mori. The phrase "memento mori" means "remember that you will die." This reminder can help us appreciate the time we have and live a life of purpose and meaning.
