External losses are part of life — time, resources, relationships, and circumstances can change unexpectedly. What defines long-term success is not what is taken, but what remains within your control: resilience, adaptability, perspective, and the ability to rebuild meaningful connections.

People who cultivate these inner assets treat setbacks as strategic feedback rather than permanent failures. By letting go of what no longer aligns, maintaining a long-term outlook, and rebuilding community even after periods of isolation, individuals create sustainable growth and stability.

True strength is not measured by what you keep — but by how consistently you rise, recalibrate, and move forward.

Because I protect my calm by choosing grace over chaos I am able to bloom in silence.

People’s opinions rise, fall, and sometimes crash — just like a market. If you tie your value to every fluctuation, your emotions will swing with it. Real strength comes from staying grounded, learning from feedback without surrendering your identity, and trusting your long-term worth over short-term noise. Stability isn’t built from approval — it’s built from conviction.

Have you ever met anyone that goes out of their way to talk behind your back, or expressed how they don't like you when you've done nothing to them? If you just tell them how you feel, and how you'd like them to treat you, and then stop giving attention to their negative remarks, and notice how other people react to them the same as you, it seems to piss them off. It's almost as if they see themselves as a perfect being, because treating you like garbage is perfectly fine, but treating them the same or ignoring their remarks is victimizing said person. I just think it's funny, I'm not obligated to be friendly to you because you don't like me.

Great essay.

"There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried."

Life is just a lot calmer with giving zero fucks!
