Embracing Independence and Self-Reliance

In life's pivotal moments of solitude like after divorce, starting a new phase, facing criticism, we realize that we are ultimately responsible for ourselves. Epictetus and Marx's words echo the sentiment that we are our own saviors. We have the power to manage our emotions and solve our problems independently. Taylor Swift's reminder underscores that self-reliance has always been a part of our journey, urging us to embrace these instances as opportunities for growth and self-realization.
