The Most Valuable Asset: “but the wise person can lose nothing. Such a person has everything stored up for themselves, leaving nothing to Fortune, their own goods are held firm, bound in virtue, which requires nothing from chance, and therefore can’t be either increased or diminished.”

You Can’t Touch Me: no matter what’s happening to your body, no matter what the outside world inflicts on you, your mind can remain philosophical. It’s still yours. It’s untouchable – and in a way, then, so are you.

Your Actual Needs are Small: remember today that you’d be ok if things suddenly went wrong. There is very little that could happen that would truly threaten your survival. Think about that – and adjust your worries and fears accordingly.
