Finding Contentment in the Ever-Changing Nature of Life
Contentment in stoicism does not mean accepting life as it is in a static moment. It means embracing life as an ever-changing process. We should learn to flow with life's changes and choose our perspective and outlook. Contentment comes from accepting and appreciating both positive and negative things in life, and not letting external events dictate our happiness.
