Your internal world will shape your external world
Life philosophy for happiness.
It’s not life’s events that bring you happiness and joy; it’s your interpretation of them.
The way you see the world shapes your experience.
This wisdom dates back to Stoicism. I first learned it from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations.
More recently, people like Sam Harris, Donald Robertson, and William B. Irvine have reminded me of its relevance.
You can pop their names into a free AI language model, like Perplexity, and prompt: Please share the mindset and wisdom of Marcus Aurelius through the interpretations of the philosophers I named above.
It’s a free way to explore philosophy for happiness.
Just remember—your entire experience is filtered through your mind. Wisdom comes from recognizing this and choosing to do something about it.
Wishing you happiness and joy,
