Don't hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace.
Epictetus taught that serenity comes not from getting what we want, but from wanting what we get. A student once asked him how to stop being angry at life. He replied, 'You are upset not because the world disappoints you, but because you think it owes you.' Accepting reality — even painful or unfair events — transforms resentment into resilience. This is not passive surrender, but active harmony with fate.
Peace begins where expectation ends. Align with life, not against it.
"Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck."
