"あなたは自分の心を支配する力を持っています外部の出来事ではありませんこれを理解すれば力を見出すでしょう"
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
You can't control what happens around you, but you can control how you react to it. For instance, if a friend cancels plans at the last minute, you can choose to be upset or decide to enjoy your time doing something else. Focusing on controlling your thoughts and emotions gives you more peace and power. Imagine a sailor who can't change the wind but can adjust the sails to reach his destination. By managing your inner world, you become stronger and less affected by things you can't change. This approach helps you stay calm and make better decisions no matter what challenges come your way.
