What Philosophy Keeps You Grounded When Life Gets Difficult?

Stoicism, Buddhism, Christianity, the Bhagavad Gita, Islam, Taoism, or lessons learned through experience. What principles actually help you live better?

What gives you that sense of peace and calm through turbelence?

Strength derives from NOT relying on one modality of thought alone

 

[BillyPilgrim]

My own. Namely that our souls are eternal and this realm is a spiritual training ground. We are at the end of the world as we know it, and while things will continue to get worse there will be an inflection point where, unless you are an assh0le, they will get better than they were before.

Duke-ism works for me. The older I get the better it works.

What I tell myself :

Stop worrying about things out of your control and focus on the things you can control.

Take accountability for yourself and stop making excuses. The world doesn't give a sh!t how hard things are for you and it doesn't owe you a favor. You are the one who can change your life 1000x more than anyone or anything else. Embrace that.

I'm Christian, it works well for me.

Prayer, meditation, reading the scriptures, chanting God's holy names, living a holy life and using your god given talents to help people, fasting, brisk walking, yoga, cold showers, quiet time and solitude, floor grounding by sitting and laying on the floor on a yoga matt, song writing and making a movie for social media. etc.
