"Don't set your mind on things you don't possess... but count the blessings you actually possess and think how much you would desire them if they
weren't already yours.”

-#MarcusAurelius

A good reminder from #Stoicism, it’s so easy to focus on what I don’t have.

I’m a staunch advocate for the #stoic #philosophy. Before I was diagnosed with #adhd, it helped me regulate my emotional responses, as it made me stop & consider before committing to a reaction or an emotional response.

@arpcomics Sadly, our entire economy depends on people being perpetually discontent with what they already have. It's a terrible way to go through life, and it contributes to lower life satisfaction, but it's hard for people to buck the messaging they've been bombarded with all their lives from ever-present advertising.
