“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
Marcus Aurelius
You can’t usually fully control the following External circumstances you are born into but you can make small changes and try to influence these as you get older and have more opportunities to control your own destiny:
- Money
- Capitalism
- Politics
- Work
- Country of Residence
- Environment
- Housing
- Education
- Science
- Technology
By starting slowly, you can make changes to how you work for and with these EXTERNAL ‘things’ as well as how much you try to influence these to not only improve your overall well being but at the same time OUR collective Human experience.
‘I’ have tried to break down each area as objectively as ‘I’ can and also suggest how you can learn more about each area via various links, videos and any relevant external organisations etc that you might be able to support in some way.
First up money – something WE all have to interact with…
