Some things just happen
❝
Events happen according to nature; they are not arranged for your convenience.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Something goes wrong and the mind immediately asks: “Why is this happening to me?”
That question assumes intent where there often is none.
Stoicism reminds us that much of life is impersonal. Delays, bad timing, awkward moments, minor failures—they’re not messages. They’re not punishments. They’re just the world moving according to its own logic.
When you stop taking randomness personally, a lot of unnecessary frustration drains away.
Not everything is a commentary on your worth.
Some things are just weather.
Stay hungry. Stay wise. Eat brekkie.
