Choose not to be harmed—and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed—and you haven't been.

Marcus Aurelius

💭 Modern Translation

That driver who just cut you off? They can only ruin your commute if you give them permission. Your blood pressure spike is optional. Your string of creative expletives that would make a pirate jealous? Also optional.

⚡️ Your Move

Next time someone cuts you off in traffic, try this: Instead of going full Batman-voice angry, just say "interesting choice" in your most neutral David Attenborough voice. Then let it go. Watch how your rage instantly melts away.

Remember: 99% of the time, other people’s actions aren’t worth your peace of mind.

Let it go,

Jon
