Don't look for the answers to the big questions, just live in the present and accept everything that life has in store for you.

Greetings to all fellow Steemit members, today I share with you this little story about how stoicism is not only a way to find the answers to our life or its reason, but something much more beautiful.

Once upon a time there was a young man named Lucas, who had been educated in Stoic philosophy since he was a child. He learned to control his emotions, not to let himself be carried away by anger or sadness, and to accept with serenity the obstacles that life presented to him.

One day, while walking in the forest, he encountered a strange and mysterious creature. This creature revealed to him that it possessed the power to see the future and that it had been watching him for a long time.

Luke, intrigued, asked it to show him what fate had in store for him. The creature agreed and began to show him a series of visions in which he saw himself facing various difficulties and challenges.

In each of these visions, Lucas remained serene and calm, wisely accepting what was happening to him. Whether it was the loss of a loved one, financial ruin or any other kind of setback, Luke always found a way to cope with strength and fortitude.

At the end of the visions, the creature explained to him that the true power of stoicism does not lie in controlling our emotions or accepting adversity, but in being able to find meaning and purpose in every situation, no matter how difficult it may be.

Luke understood then that true Stoic wisdom is not found in the meaning of life itself, but in the ability to face it with courage and determination, and to find inner peace in the midst of the storm.

From that day on, Luke continued to practice stoicism, but with a new perspective. He was no longer concerned with seeking answers to big questions, but with living each moment with fullness and meaning, no matter what circumstances life presented to him.

Sort:  

It is truly a rare gift to try to take each day as it comes, reality unfolds one after another, and trying to seek the wisdom associated with each season makes a big difference.

Exactly to that point I wanted to get with this publication, the fact is not to try to know the purpose of your life, but to live each day as if it were the last and accept what the future holds for you.

Sometimes life throw to us what we don't want but the truth is we just need to deal with it and move on in life irrespective of what life throw to us

That's another point, as there are several sayings, "If life gives you lemons, you make lemonade" that could be one of them, instead of being negative with what you are getting, try to adapt to what life offered you today and use it for tomorrow.
