Today I woke with a massive headache and muscle pains due to my back issues. None of my tricks were helping. Not even the Advil. I was miserable. I was even fed up with my special pillow. Why couldn't I just have a normal pillow? How was I going to get through my Chen sword class? My pity-party was growing by the minute. This Sunday was doomed.
So I invited the Stoic philosophers to crash my party. And they did! Imagine how many people would love to have my problems. And is this really a problem? No. An inconvenience? Yes. Will it stop me from doing anything I want to do today? No. What about the people who don't even have pillow, or a warm bed to sleep in? What about the people who cannot even go for a walk due to their pain or injury?
Thank you Stoics. Pity-party over. Back to me. Ready for my Chen class.
