Most anxiety doesn’t come from what’s happening — it comes from trying to control things that were never ours to control.

In this short reflection, I look at a simple idea from Marcus Aurelius: dividing life into what belongs to us and what doesn’t. Our attention, our actions, and our character are ours. Outcomes are not.

This isn’t about ignoring reality or avoiding responsibility. It’s about learning where to place your energy so it actually helps.

A few minutes of philosophy, not advice — just something to sit with.
