This quote exemplifies the Stoic philosophy that no matter what happens externally to you, you have the power to react. It is up to you to decide how you'll react. Make the wise decision.

@terrybrock How do you want to be the wisest woman!

Thank you for your comment but I don't want to be the wisest woman. I'm doing all I can to just be a reasonably intelligent guy. :)

I appreciate you standing by and leaving a comment hope you have a wonderful day.

A strange statue I had never seen before
I do not know what his story will look for

Yes, this is the statue of Marcus Aurellis in Istabul, Turkey. I guess the 4X6 prints of him didn't come through. :-) Nice to hear from you, @roselover

Good post! I have been learning about Stoic philosophy in my sports history and philosophy class. Philosophy comes from Greek phylos - love or close friend and sophie - wise or wisdom. ( A friend of wisdom)

nice post

I agree wholeheartedly. Its all in the mind.

I’ve heard this many times. I used to have a friend who’s favorite quote was it’s 80 what happens to you and 20% how you react to it. We set standards for people and expectations from people. This is our biggest mistake because when they don’t meet those standards and/or expectations, we get disappointed. We get upset and sad. Our emotions then take control bc our minds set the bar.
