A Rule by Seneca that Nudges
“Cling tooth and nail
to the following rule:
Not to give in to
adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune’s
habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually
going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been
expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.”
Seneca

Baltasar Gracian's Good Advice; Go Straight to the Good in Everything
Go Straight to the Good in Everything
"It is the happy lot of those
with good taste. The bee goes straight for the sweetness, and the viper for the
bitterness it needs for its poison. So with tastes: some go for the best,
others for the worst. There is nothing that doesn't have some good, especially
books, where good is imagined. Some people's temperaments are so unfortunate
that among a thousand perfections they will find a single defect and censure it
and blow it all out of proportion. They are the garbage collectors of the will and
the intellect, burdened down with blemishes and defects: punishment for their
poor discernment rather than proof of their subtlety. They are unhappy, for
they batten on bitterness and graze on imperfections. Others have a happier
sort of taste: among a thousand defects they discover some perfection that good
luck happened to drop."

Letting Go
“To let go isn’t to forget, not to
think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or
regret. Letting go isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about pride and it’s
not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past.
Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave
emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not about giving in or giving up. Letting go
isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat.
To let go is to cherish the memories,
but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the
future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be
thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you
grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will
soon gain.
Letting go is having the
courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.”
