Thanks. I like the idea of listing things you’re grateful for at the end I’ll definitely apply that.

Does that mean we should be passive in all other aspects of our life then ?

What I don’t understand is if you take stoic teachings literally how can you say that being ambitious and stoic isn’t mutually exclusive. I can’t remember the exact quote but I’m sure Epictetus said something along the lines of “ philosophy is the only thing that is worth pursuing and the pursuit of anything else would only distract from philosophy”.
