Number 6 - maintain control of your emotions.

This is so, so important. Your emotions are deliberately targeted to manipulate and exploit you.

You can't control how you react emotionally to something, but you can control how you respond.

When everything in life is going bad, people blame God with the whole "why me" bullshit.

But when everything in life is going well, they don't praise and be thankful to God, they thank themselves and the hard work they put in.

Thanks, I'm doing my best everyday.

Been doing this for 12ish years has not yet worked. Been in: San Diego, Lyon, Barcelona, Valencia. I plan for Amsterdam next. I feel so depressed. I want to-. Any ways, I’m glad it worked for you. Hope more people cross the finish line on this particular obstacle.

Woo-hoo 2 months togo.

Yeah?

Talk to me 6 month's from now.

This is an inspiring post, and I can totally relate to those feelings of loneliness after moving to a different country, away from family and friends. I moved from the US to Europe around 2.5 years ago and it’s definitely challenging to try and build new friendships from scratch. The cultures are different, language barriers are an obstacle to be overcome, and if you’re not in school or if you work remotely (in my case) - it’s just harder to meet and land into conversations to a point where a friendship can start to build.

Luckily, I have my husband who is originally from here, so he’s been a huge help when it comes to learning cultural norms, or navigating the bureaucracy of local government. Still, it’s hard not having friends. I recently found a local expat group though, and they are planning meet-ups to attend language classes. I’m excited to see where that leads, and I’m looking forward to possibly forming some new friendships there.

You’re doing great, OP! Keep at it.

You know this works in the inverse

6 months from now my life could be worse than it ever has been

It's all about perspective 😌

Thank you friend! <3 I denied myself parts of myself for really long because I felt they had no place in society or didn't benefit others. I became very disconnected from my body and feelings, completely stuck in my head. I got so incredibly tired. (Just saying this because I think a lot of people struggle with issues like that) And now I'm embracing everything I am, and it's beautiful! I wish you all that's wonderful and awesome in this world ❤️

Thank you for this post! I've been working hard and the past few weeks have been hard, and I've let a few things slip. However, after seeing this post I know I will have hard times, but just keep moving forward.

That's all we can ever do ❤️ be kind to yourself and give your feelings, body and mind time to connect with each other :)

Might be the best stoicism poster I've seen. Cool!

Yes. In 6 months you can be in worse position than you are now regardless of how much effort you put in.

I like how 9 and 10 are essentially saying you should try and be nice even if the person is an asshole but there are limits. Some people are just psychos and will never stop fucking with you no matter what because that's what they enjoy doing, don't bother trying to be nice to those people, it won't make any difference.

Very, very true.

Thanks for the reminder ❤️

Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations is impeccable

Marcus Aurelius, so ahead of his time that he's still ahead of the times.

6 months ago I just started fixing everything from 6 months before that, now I’m back in the gutter of life

Take it as a threat
