How To Be Strong: Be Your Own Support

The Buddhists and the Stoics agreed on many things.    Above all, this: do not rely upon anything beyond your control.

Do not rely upon anything outside your own mind.

But we are not meant to live in a vacuum.

Just ignoring it, and going by on nothing, is insufficient.

What to do?

Give yourself your own support.

Actively.

Be your own support.

Give yourself help when you need it.

When you really need it, cheer yourself up!

That way, you will not be going by on nothing.

You will be giving yourself something.

Be your own support.      Actively.

That is how to be strong.

God loves you!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
