Book cover for Meditations
Stoicism offers a path of least resistance to dealing with life’s challenges and a practical guide to living in harmony with the capricious forces of nature through the development of mental fortitude.

“Don't resist when life needs to remove the "old" to make room for the the "new." The pain you're feeling isn't caused by letting things or people go, what's actually hurting you is swimming exhaustively against the natural flow that was intended to carry you.

What's truly meant for you shouldn't feel forced, and your blessings are definitely on the way. So stop clinging to whatever needs to be purged... focus instead on freeing yourself to receive. What God has for you, is meant just for you... you'll never have to fight or compete with anyone for what's been divinely designated as yours.”
Kianu Starr

Michel de Montaigne
“The time is now proper for us to reform backward; more by dissenting than by agreeing; by differing more than by consent.”
Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

Marcus Aurelius
“Soon earth will cover us all. Then in time earth, too, will change; later, what issues from this change will itself in turn incessantly change, and so again will all that then takes its place, even unto the world's end. to let the mind dwell on these swiftly rolling billows of change and transformation is to know a contempt for all things mortal.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Leonardo da Vinci
“Mathematics, such as appertain to painting, are necessary to the painter, also the absence of companions who are alien to his studies: his brain must be versatile and susceptible to the variety of objects which it encounters, and free from distracting cares.”
Leonardo da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life

Joe Bolton
“And we who loved the world must learn the language of absence: days foreshortened, empty rooms, the irrevocable distance between the goodbye and the letting go.”
Joe Bolton, The Last Nostalgia: Poems 1982-1990
