Here are a few stoic thoughts, mostly from Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, that I find helpful.

1. Focus on what you control
2. Be strict with yourself, tolerant with others
3. Put in the work
4. Ask questions; be willing to look stupid
5. Focus on how much there is to learn
6. It doesn't degrade you when others treat you poorly; it degrades them
7. Practice restraint — respond to meanness and anger with kindness
8. Respond to scarcity by giving what you are lacking
9. Adopt the best perspective, one that empowers
10. Make beautiful choices, step by step, every day

Cheers,
