Today’s Stoic
“Everything has two handles, the one by which it may be carried, the other by which it cannot.”
What it means today
Every situation can be gripped by the handle that makes it manageable or the one that makes it impossible. A difficult person can be met with patience or with blame — only one handle lets you carry the load.
Try this todayWhen facing a hard situation today, deliberately choose the handle that makes it lighter.
