Worry is a natural human emotion, but when directed at things beyond our influence, it transforms from a protective mechanism into a heavy burden.

对抗无常的徒劳

The key to peace lies not in eliminating all problems, but in distinguishing between what is within our control and what is not.

As the Stoics famously noted, we must accept that some things are up to us, and some things are not.

4. The Freedom of Acceptance

Instead of fearing failure, focus on preparation. Instead of resenting someone else’s success, focus on your own growth.

By letting go of the illusion of total control, you free up cognitive resources for what truly matters.
