Marcus Aurelius and the Roman Stoics tell us to not rely on anything beyond our control.
There is always one thing under our control: our own mind!
Whatever happens out there, if you rely only upon your own mind, and don't mind what is going on out there, and choose to be okay anyway, you will never fall!
And even death and pain will be just another adventure!
Read Marcus Aurelius's Meditations for more!
God loves you!
Sincerely,
